Yellow River Crossing
Shortly after departure from Zhengzhou, see the massive Yellow River winding through the Henan plains.
Loess Plateau Gullies
Witness the stunning 'Yuan' and 'Liang' landforms, characterized by deep, intricate erosion patterns in the yellow earth.
Terraced Farmlands
Intricate agricultural patterns carved into the hillsides, showing traditional Shaanxi farming techniques.
Mu Us Desert Fringes
Observe the dramatic transition from the plateau's yellow soil to the sandy dunes on the outskirts of Yulin.
For the best visibility of the plateau's texture, choose a morning flight when the low sun casts deep shadows into the gullies. Avoid seats over the wing (rows 15-25 on most narrow-body jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the unique geological formations.

Zhengzhou Urban Spread
A great perspective of the rapidly growing Henan capital and the Zhengdong New District landmarks.
Taihang Mountains
On clear days, the rugged silhouettes of the Taihang range are visible in the distance to the northeast.
Shanxi Border Gorges
The route often parallels the Yellow River's path through narrow rocky canyons separating Shaanxi and Shanxi.
Yulin Energy Hubs
View the massive industrial scale of northern China's coal and chemical energy bases during the descent.
The right side is excellent for spotting the regional mountain ranges. Keep an eye out for the Jin-Shaan Grand Canyon if the pilot takes a slightly eastern flight path. In winter, the frozen sections of the Yellow River are particularly striking from this side.
