LZO → XIY
Which side of the plane to sit from Luzhou Airport (Luzhou) to Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (Xi'an)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the rugged central Qinling Mountains, including views of Mount Taibai, and typically avoids the direct glare of the sun on morning flights heading North.

Yangtze River Confluence
Aerial views of the Yangtze and Tuo Rivers meeting near Luzhou shortly after takeoff.
Central Qinling Range
Spectacular views of the high-altitude peaks that form the climatic divide between North and South China.
Mount Taibai
On clear days, the snow-capped summit of the highest peak in the Qinling Mountains is visible to the West.
Guanzhong Plain
The dramatic transition from the sharp Qinling ridges to the flat, fertile basin surrounding Xi'an.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the rising sun. Look for the sharp contrast in vegetation as you cross the Qinling Mountains; the southern slopes are much lusher than the northern side. During the descent, watch for the industrial developments on the western outskirts of Xi'an.
