Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the urban landscape of Changsha and the picturesque meanders of the Han River during the final approach into Xiangyang.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Pearl River Hinterland

Aerial views of the dense urban-industrial corridors north of Guangzhou shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Mount Heng

Distant views of the sacred peaks of the Southern Great Mountain located in Hunan province.

🌆

Changsha Skyline

A clear perspective of the Xiang River bisecting the sprawling capital city of Hunan.

🌊

Han River Meanders

The winding silver ribbon of the Han River as it flows through the historic Xiangyang basin during descent.

Book an A or B seat on afternoon flights to witness the sunset reflecting off the major river systems. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the most dramatic river loops.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Nanling Range

The lush, forested ridges that form the primary natural barrier between Southern and Central China.

💧

Dongting Lake

The vast, shimmering expanse of one of China's largest freshwater lakes visible on the eastern horizon.

🏘️

Yueyang Port

The industrial and historical hub where the Yangtze River connects with massive inland waterways.

🌾

Jianghan Plain

A geometric tapestry of rice paddies and irrigation canals characterizing the fertile Hubei landscape.

A morning flight in a K seat is ideal to see the sun rising over the Dongting Lake basin. Winter flights often provide the clearest views of the mountain ranges due to lower seasonal humidity.
