Which side of the plane to sit from Liuzhou Bailian Airport (Liuzhou) to Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (Chengdu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the karst landscapes of Guangxi to the high-altitude plateaus of Guizhou, followed by a stunning view of the snowy Daxue Mountains on the western horizon during the descent into Chengdu.

Liuzhou Karst Formations
Aerial view of the unique 'sugarloaf' limestone peaks and the winding Liu River immediately after takeoff.
Guizhou Plateau
Dramatic view of deep river valleys and rugged limestone ridges that characterize the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
Beipan River Gorges
Deep canyons and massive infrastructure projects, including high-altitude bridges, visible in the mountainous terrain.
Western Sichuan Alps
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Qionglai and Daxue Mountains are visible as you enter the Sichuan Basin.
Chengdu Western Suburbs
A view of the dense urban expansion of Chengdu against the backdrop of the massive mountains to the west.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for spotting the high-altitude peaks of Western Sichuan during the descent into CTU. Clouds are common over Guizhou, so aim for a flight after a cold front for maximum visibility of the karst features.

Wu River Valley
Views of the major Wu River tributary cutting through the central Guizhou highlands.
Guiyang Metropolitan Area
The sprawling skyline of Guizhou's provincial capital, nestled within a basin of hills.
The Longquan Ridge
A distinct green mountain range that acts as the final geographic barrier before the plane enters the flat Chengdu Plain.
Chengdu South High-Tech Zone
Modern architecture and high-rises of the southern business district visible during the final approach to CTU.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the mountains to the east. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the rugged hills of eastern Sichuan suddenly flatten into the fertile, highly developed Chengdu Plain. Keep an eye out for the massive Tianfu International Airport if the route passes slightly east.
