Which side of the plane to sit from Taiyuan Wusu Airport (Taiyuan) to Dayong Airport (Dayong)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the dramatic Qinling Mountain range and the iconic sandstone pillars of the Zhangjiajie karst landscape during the descent into Dayong.

Qinling Range

The massive east-west mountain range that serves as the geographical and climatic divide between North and South China.

Yangtze River Glimpses

Aerial views of the Yangtze as it flows toward the Three Gorges region in western Hubei.

Wuling Karst Peaks

Dramatic sandstone pillars and lush green canyons characteristic of the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park area during descent.

Sit on the right for the most dramatic terrain changes. Keep your camera ready roughly 15-20 minutes before landing, as the plane descends over the spectacular karst mountains of Zhangjiajie. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for these rock formations.
