WUZKWE

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Guilin and Yangshuo karst landscapes as you fly northwest, including the dramatic river bends of Liuzhou and the high-altitude bridges of southern Guizhou.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🗼

Yangshuo Peak Forest

Distant but visible views of the world-famous tower karst formations near Guilin.

🏙️

Liuzhou River Loop

The dramatic 'U' shaped bend of the Liu River as it circles the urban center of Liuzhou.

🌉

Guizhou Megabridges

Keep an eye out for massive engineering feats spanning deep river gorges as you enter Guizhou.

🏡

Miao & Dong Villages

Traditional wooden clusters with gray tiled roofs nestled in the narrow mountain valleys.

🏢

Guiyang Approach

The dense high-rise architecture of Guiyang emerging from the mountain mist upon descent.

This is the 'scenic side' for spotting the unique geology of South China. Afternoon flights (2 PM - 5 PM) provide the best lighting for the right side as the sun moves south, highlighting the vertical relief of the karst towers.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🚢

Xijiang River Basin

At takeoff, see the broad West River winding through Wuzhou's river port area.

⛰️

Daming Mountains

The rugged ridge lines of the Daming range mark the transition into the higher plateau.

🚜

Plateau Terraces

Distinctive agricultural terracing on the slopes of the limestone hills in northern Guangxi.

☁️

The Sea of Karst

Endless rolling limestone peaks that look like waves when viewed from cruising altitude.

Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the deep valleys near the Guizhou border. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, allowing for clearer photos of the terrain textures without glare.
