Kubuqi Desert
Stunning views of the rolling sand dunes of the Ordos Loop immediately after departing Baotou.
Qinling Mountain Range
Fly directly over the high-altitude ridges of the Qinling, the natural boundary between North and South China.
Three Gorges Distant View
Depending on the specific airway, you can see the rugged karst topography near the Hubei-Chongqing border.
Pearl River Delta
A spectacular view of the massive bridge networks and interlocking cities as you descend into Guangzhou.
Nanling Mountains
Dense, misty mountain ranges that mark the final geographic barrier before entering the Guangdong plains.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Qinling mountains. Ensure you are awake for the descent, as the transition from the Nanling mountains to the neon lights of the Pearl River Delta is breathtaking.
