Maling River Canyon
A deep, lush rift valley located very close to Xingyi Airport, visible shortly after departure.
Yangtze River Crossing
The wide expanse of the Yangtze River as the flight path moves toward the northeast.
North China Plain
A vast, flat expanse of agricultural grids and high-density villages stretching to the horizon.
Zhengzhou Urban Area
A bird's-eye view of one of China's major transport hubs and its sprawling infrastructure.
