Vientiane Skyline
Clear views of the golden Pha That Luang stupa and the city's unique mix of French colonial and Buddhist architecture.
Nam Ngum Reservoir
A massive, island-dotted lake nestled in the mountains north of the capital city.
Northern Laos Highlands
Extremely rugged and densely forested mountain terrain that characterizes the northern part of the country.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
The iconic limestone pillars and 'sugarloaf' hills that make this region of China world-famous.
Nanning Suburbs
Modern urban sprawl and the winding Yong River as the aircraft begins its final descent into Nanning.
Try to book a morning flight for the best visibility, as tropical haze and afternoon thunderstorms are common in this corridor. The transition from the dense jungles of Laos to the geometric karst peaks of China is the visual highlight, usually occurring about mid-flight. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle green gradients of the mountain ranges.

Mekong River Bend
Follow the winding path of the Mekong River which serves as the natural border between Laos and Thailand.
Phou Khao Khouay
Views of the 'Mountain of the Buffalo Horn' National Park, home to dense monsoon forests.
Annamite Range
Distant glimpses of the mountain chain that separates Laos from the Vietnamese coastline.
Guangxi Farmlands
A patchwork of vibrant green rice paddies and agricultural development in southern China.
The right side is excellent for seeing the river systems that define the border regions. During the rainy season (May-October), the rivers appear a deep ochre color, which is striking from above. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in land use patterns as you cross from the more wild terrain of Laos into the highly organized agricultural zones of China.
