Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high ridges of the Qinling Mountains and a more scenic approach into the Sichuan Basin, featuring river meanders and terraced landscapes.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🔝

Mount Taibai Peaks

Look west to see the highest peaks of the Qinling range, often capped with snow or clouds.

🌾

Sichuan Basin Terraces

Exquisite views of the highly organized agricultural terraces and rolling hills typical of the region.

🌫️

Basin Mist

Atmospheric views of the iconic Sichuan fog settled in the deep valleys between hills.

🐍

Tuo River Meanders

Intricate winding patterns of the Tuo River as it approaches its confluence with the Yangtze.

🏙️

Luzhou Urban Core

A clear view of the city center and the river bridges during the final approach to LZO.

This is the 'money side' for geography lovers. Choose a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the river junctions near Luzhou. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the western peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏔️

Eastern Qinling Divide

Dramatic views of the mountain range that separates Northern and Southern China shortly after takeoff.

🏘️

Ankang Valley

Scenic glimpse of the Han River valley and the urban clusters nestled between mountain ridges.

⛰️

Daba Mountains

Dense, green mountain peaks characterizing the border between Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces.

🌊

Yangtze River Vista

The expansive Yangtze River comes into view during the final descent into the Luzhou area.

Sit toward the front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. This side is better for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun as you head south.
