Our Recommendation
8.2

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⚓

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.
