Which side of the plane to sit from Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning) to Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the iconic karst topography of Guangxi and the dramatic mountain ridges of western Hunan and Hubei before transitioning into the central plains.

Daming Mountains
Visible shortly after takeoff, these lush green peaks define the landscape north of Nanning.
Guangxi Karst Landscape
Aerial views of the unique 'sugarloaf' limestone hills that characterize the region.
Wuling Mountain Range
Dramatic, rugged terrain as the flight crosses into western Hunan and Hubei provinces.
Yangtze River Valley
A glimpse of the winding Yangtze as it cuts through the mountains in central Hubei.
Funiu Mountains
The southern extension of the Qinling range, marking the transition into Henan province.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to photograph the karst peaks. The most dramatic terrain occurs in the first 45 minutes of the flight. During winter, look for snow caps on the higher peaks of the Funiu range as you enter Henan.
