LZOKWE

Which side of the plane to sit from Luzhou Airport (Luzhou) to Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic karst peak forests and deep river gorges that define the Guizhou Plateau landscape.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Karst Peak Clusters

Breathtaking views of the 'Ten Thousand Peaks,' featuring thousands of conical limestone hills.

🌊

Wujiang River Gorges

The plane crosses the deep, emerald-colored canyons of the Wujiang River system.

🌉

Guizhou Mega-Bridges

Spot some of the world's highest bridges spanning deep valleys, a signature of Guizhou's engineering.

🌅

Highland Mist

Beautiful atmospheric effects as clouds and mist weave between the limestone peaks during early or late flights.

Sit on the right side for the most dramatic limestone topography. Since this is a short flight, the descent begins quickly; stay alert for the bridge structures which appear small but distinct from altitude.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Chishui River Valley

The famous 'River of Wine' known for its reddish sediment and steep forested banks.

⛰️

Chishui Danxia Landforms

Vibrant red sandstone cliffs and lush green vegetation belonging to this UNESCO World Heritage site.

🏙️

Zunyi Skyline

A distant view of the historic city of Zunyi, nestled among the northern Guizhou mountains.

🏢

Guiyang Nanming District

On final approach, see the high-density urban development and skyscrapers of eastern Guiyang.

Morning flights provide the best lighting for the red Danxia landforms. Keep your eyes peeled shortly after takeoff from Luzhou to spot the winding river patterns.
