Which side of the plane to sit from Tongren Fenghuang Airport (Tongren) to Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more consistent view of the rugged Jinjiang River valleys and the dense karst peak forests that define the Guizhou landscape, especially as you approach Guiyang.

Tongren Urban Basin
A clear view of Tongren city nestled between steep limestone hills and the winding Jinjiang River immediately after takeoff.
Karst Peak Forest
Thousands of conical limestone hills stretching to the horizon, a signature geographic feature of the Guizhou plateau.
Wujiang River Canyons
Deep turquoise river channels cutting through steep vertical cliffs as the plane crosses the Wujiang drainage basin.
Terraced Valleys
Intricate patterns of rice terraces and small agricultural settlements carved into the narrow valleys between mountain peaks.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side provides a better angle for viewing the dramatic transition from the Tongren basin into the high-altitude karst terrain. Look for the distinct 'hundred-meter' bridges spanning the deep gorges below.

Fan Jingshan Foothills
Views of the rugged northern mountain ranges and the outskirts of the Fanjingshan National Nature Reserve shortly after departure.
High-Altitude Infrastructure
Glimpses of Guizhou's record-breaking highway bridges and high-speed rail viaducts that leap across massive valleys.
Dense Forest Canopy
Lush evergreen broadleaf forests covering the higher ridges of the Wuling mountain system.
Guiyang Approach
A sprawling view of Guiyang's rapidly growing eastern districts and high-rise clusters as you descend into Longdongbao.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy softer lighting. This side offers better views of the massive engineering feats—the bridges and tunnels—that populate the northern Guizhou corridor. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for the Guiyang skyline view.
