Which side of the plane to sit from Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo) to Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior angle for observing the unique karst topography of Guangxi and the industrial heart of Ningbo during takeoff.
Ningbo City Center
Clear views of the urban landscape and the confluence of the three major rivers at the start of the journey.
Gan River Tributaries
Intricate networks of waterways and agricultural basins that characterize the Jiangxi province landscape.
Guilin Karst Peaks
The world-famous limestone formations appearing like stone forests during the descent into Liangjiang.
Li River Landscape
Aerial perspective of the meandering river that inspired centuries of traditional Chinese ink paintings.
The right side is essential for the iconic Guilin approach. To see the karst peaks clearly, avoid the wing area (rows 10-22 on most narrow-body jets). Late afternoon flights offer dramatic shadows that emphasize the verticality of the limestone towers.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
Aerial views of the massive shipping infrastructure along the East China Sea coast shortly after departure.
Wuyi Mountain Range
Observation of the lush, forested peaks forming the natural border between Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces.
Xiang River Valley
The winding path of the Xiang River as it flows through the green hills of southern Hunan.
Sit behind the wing for unobstructed shots of the Wuyi mountains. Morning flights provide excellent side-lighting for the eastern mountain slopes, making them ideal for photography.
