NNGLZO

Which side of the plane to sit from Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning) to Luzhou Airport (Luzhou)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic limestone karst clusters of Guangxi and a more direct view of the Yangtze River's winding path during the descent into Luzhou.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏞️

Maolan Forests

Dense, high-altitude karst forests providing a lush green tapestry across the landscape.

🏙️

Guiyang Panorama

Distant views of Guiyang's skyscrapers appearing to grow directly out of the mountain ranges.

🌊

Yangtze River Confluence

A stunning view of the Tuo River meeting the Yangtze as the aircraft begins its final approach.

🌉

Luzhou Bridges

Clearly visible engineering marvels spanning the wide rivers surrounding Luzhou city.

Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side. During the descent into Luzhou (LZO), the aircraft often performs a U-turn that offers a panoramic view of the city's riverfront, so keep your camera ready for the 15 minutes before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Karst Peaks

The iconic limestone formations of Guangxi visible shortly after takeoff from Nanning.

🌊

Hongshui River

A winding, emerald-colored river that snakes through the deep mountain valleys below.

☁️

Plateau Ascent

Observe the terrain rising sharply as the flight enters the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau region.

🏙️

Sichuan Basin Edge

The transition from rugged mountains to the lower, flatter terrain of the southern Sichuan Basin.

The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the 'staircase' effect of the mountains as you move from the lowlands of Guangxi to the high-altitude plateau of Guizhou.
