Yangtze River Gorges
View the dramatic bends and deep canyons of the Jinsha River (upper Yangtze) cutting through the Hengduan Mountains.
Kunming & Dianchi Lake
A clear view of the 'City of Eternal Spring' and the vast, crescent-shaped Dianchi Lake in Yunnan province.
Incheon Bridge
During the final descent into ICN, the left side often provides a stunning view of the 21km long Incheon Bridge spanning the sea.
Yellow Sea Traffic
Watch hundreds of cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy maritime routes approaching the Korean Peninsula.
For the best mountain views, choose a morning flight when the air is clearest and the sun illuminates the peaks from the south. Request a seat ahead of the wing (Rows 5-15) to ensure the engine and wing don't obstruct the deep valley views in Yunnan and Sichuan. During winter, the snow cover on the mountains is most dramatic.
