The landing features a world-renowned low-altitude approach through a deep canyon, where the left side provides the best views of the braided river channels and the majestic, snow-capped peaks surrounding the valley.
The Left Side (Port) is widely considered the superior side for this route as it offers direct views of the 'King of Sichuan Mountains,' Gongga Shan, and the legendary Namcha Barwa during the final descent into the Nyingchi valley.
The right side offers a front-row seat to the eastern Himalayas, culminating in a spectacular view of the legendary Namcha Barwa peak during the descent into Nyingchi.
