I can't identify the landscape. Could this be in the Nanning region? Also, can you identify the aircraft number (white marking on vertical tail) from the original scan? If not I will try to find the original photo and see if I can read it from there.

"Tony,
The original number has been painted out, and there is only a '420' on the tail. As for location, it is sure hard to tell from this image. Nanning has many karst mountains around it, but with this angle we may not see them... or for that matter, we would not see the mountains in Yangkai, etc... But this sure is a nice image!" pat RE:Eugene T. Wozniak Collection
