Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning mountain views, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition into the iconic karst topography of Guilin and better views of the Xiang River valley during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Wenzhou Cityscape

A sweeping view of Wenzhou's rapid urban development and bridges shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿž๏ธ

Xiang River Valley

The vast green plains and agricultural ribbons following the path of the Xiang River through Hunan province.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Jinggang Mountains

Historically significant and geographically stunning mountain vistas in western Jiangxi.

๐ŸŽ

Guilin Karst Forest

The world-famous 'Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks'โ€”thousands of limestone hills rising abruptly from the flat plains.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Li River Curves

Spot the winding Li River snaking between the mountains as the plane maneuvers for its final approach into Liangjiang.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the karst mountains. Watch closely during the last 20 minutes of the flight; the transformation from standard hills to sharp karst pillars is breathtaking.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
๐ŸŒŠ

Oujiang River Estuary

Aerial view of the sprawling Oujiang River as it meets the East China Sea immediately after departure from Wenzhou.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Wuyi Mountains

The rugged, mist-shrouded peaks of the Wuyi range, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its biodiversity and steep cliffs.

๐ŸŒณ

Nanling Mountain Range

Dense forest canopies covering the mountainous border between Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong provinces.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Ganzhou Urban Area

The confluence of the Zhang and Gong rivers forming the Gan River in southern Jiangxi.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Guilin Eastern Karsts

The first glimpse of the needle-like limestone peaks that characterize the Guangxi landscape upon final descent.

Sit toward the back to avoid wing obstruction when viewing the Wuyi Mountains. For morning flights, this side will be quite bright due to the southern sun, so keep your window shade adjusted to manage glare while spotting the Nanling range.
