Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the iconic karst topography of Southwest China and provides the most dramatic views of the Leizhou Peninsula and the Qiongzhou Strait during the descent into Hainan.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

West Guizhou Karst

Some of the world's most dense and spectacular limestone pinnacle formations.

🌉

High-Altitude Bridges

Glimpses of record-breaking suspension bridges spanning the deep river valleys below.

🏙️

Nanning Outskirts

The lush, tropical outskirts of Guangxi's capital city, marked by dense greenery.

🗾

Leizhou Peninsula

The 'toe' of mainland China, featuring red soil, salt pans, and volcanic craters.

🚢

Qiongzhou Strait

The busy shipping lane with ferries and cargo ships crossing the narrow gap to Hainan Island.

The right side is prime for late afternoon flights, offering golden hour views of the Qiongzhou Strait. Watch specifically for the Leizhou Peninsula's unique red earth and the massive sea-crossing ferry traffic just before entering Hainan airspace.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Guizhou Plateau Edge

Rugged limestone mountains and deep river incisions typical of the Guizhou-Guangxi border.

🏙️

Liuzhou Basin

Views of the winding Liu River and the distinct karst hills that surround the urban center.

🌾

Guangxi Farmlands

Intricate patchwork of agricultural fields set between jagged limestone peaks.

🌊

Beibu Gulf Coastline

The transition from the green Guangxi hills to the muddy-blue waters of the northern Gulf.

🏢

Haikou Cityscape

Aerial view of the northern urban sprawl and the Meilan district during final approach.

Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the Guizhou mountains without solar glare. This side is also superior for viewing the expansion of Haikou's new eastern districts as the plane turns for its final landing sequence.
