Zhengzhou Skyline
Panoramic views of the 'Green City' and the sprawling rail hubs during the initial climb out of CGO.
Fen River Valley
The fertile agricultural corridor of Shanxi province flanked by distant mountain ranges.
Taihang Foothills
The western slopes of the Taihang Mountains visible in the distance under clear sky conditions.
Ordos Kangbashi District
The famous modern architectural marvels and wide boulevards of Ordos city visible during descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Look for the industrial expansion near Ordos upon descent, which showcases the region's rapid urban planning. In winter, this side often provides better views of the snow-dusted Taihang mountain peaks to the north.
