SZXMIG

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the world-famous Karst topography in Guangxi and the dramatic vertical relief of the Guizhou Plateau before entering the Sichuan Basin.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Pearl River Estuary

Aerial view of the massive infrastructure and shipping lanes connecting Shenzhen, Zhongshan, and Zhuhai.

⛰️

Guangxi Karst Peaks

Iconic limestone tower formations and winding river valleys characteristic of the Guilin and Hezhou regions.

🛤️

Guizhou High-Speed Rail Bridges

Spot some of the world's highest bridges spanning deep canyons across the rugged Guizhou terrain.

💧

Wujiang River

The deep green waters of the Wujiang cutting through the limestone plateau as you head north.

🌄

Sichuan Basin Rim

The dramatic transition where the high mountains of Guizhou drop down into the fertile Sichuan Basin.

Choose a seat in front of the wing for the best views of the Karst mountains early in the flight. Morning flights (08:00-11:00) are ideal to avoid the harsh afternoon glare when looking west. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes after takeoff for the most dense mountain clusters.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Shenzhen & Dongguan

A dense urban tapestry of skyscrapers and manufacturing hubs visible immediately after departure from SZX.

🌳

Nanling Mountain Range

Lush, sub-tropical evergreen forests that mark the geographical boundary between Guangdong and central China.

☁️

Sichuan Sea of Clouds

The basin is famous for its low-hanging clouds and mist, creating a mystical 'sea' effect between peaks.

🏞️

Fujiang River

The primary river system of Mianyang, visible as the aircraft aligns for the final approach into MIG.

🏗️

Mianyang Science City

The sprawling industrial and research complexes of China's 'Science and Technology City' during the descent.

The right side is excellent for cityscapes during takeoff. During winter months, this side often catches the early morning sun, which can illuminate the heavy mist common in the Sichuan Basin. Look for the Fujiang River winding through the hills during the last 15 minutes of flight.
