WNZ โ KWL
Which side of the plane to sit from Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou) to Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin)?
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.
Wenzhou Cityscape
A sweeping view of Wenzhou's rapid urban development and bridges shortly after takeoff.
Xiang River Valley
The vast green plains and agricultural ribbons following the path of the Xiang River through Hunan province.
Jinggang Mountains
Historically significant and geographically stunning mountain vistas in western Jiangxi.
Guilin Karst Forest
The world-famous 'Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks'โthousands of limestone hills rising abruptly from the flat plains.
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.
Oujiang River Estuary
Aerial view of the sprawling Oujiang River as it meets the East China Sea immediately after departure from Wenzhou.
Wuyi Mountains
The rugged, mist-shrouded peaks of the Wuyi range, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its biodiversity and steep cliffs.
Nanling Mountain Range
Dense forest canopies covering the mountainous border between Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong provinces.
Ganzhou Urban Area
The confluence of the Zhang and Gong rivers forming the Gan River in southern Jiangxi.
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.
