Nanshan Guan Yin
The world's tallest Guan Yin statue, standing 108 meters tall in the sea, is often visible during the initial climb out of Sanya.
Beibu Gulf Coast
Scenic views of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches along the western tip of Hainan Island.
Guangxi Karst Mountains
The famous 'sugarloaf' limestone hills of southern China, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Nanpan River Canyons
Dramatic river valleys and steep gorges carved into the landscape near the border of Guangxi and Guizhou.
Book an 'A' seat for the best views. The Nanshan statue is usually visible within the first 5-8 minutes if taking off towards the west. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the karst mountains for photography.
