Search flights from CKG to AQG
Daba Mountains
Rugged peaks and deep green valleys that define the northern edge of the Sichuan Basin.
Three Gorges Dam
The world's largest hydroelectric project is often visible in the distance to the north of the flight path.
Wuhan Metropolis
Stunning views of the confluence of the Yangtze and Han Rivers along with numerous city bridges.
Dabie Mountains
Dense forested ridges marking the boundary between the Hubei and Anhui provinces.
Tianzhu Mountain
Iconic granite peaks and high-altitude temples that serve as the majestic backdrop for Anqing.
Select a window seat on the left (A) for the best views of the Three Gorges Dam shortly after takeoff from CKG. Mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun is high enough to illuminate the valleys but low enough to avoid harsh glare. During the descent into Anqing, keep a sharp eye out for the jagged profile of Tianzhushan, which is the primary landmark of the region.

Enshi Karst Topography
Dramatic limestone formations and deep canyons characterizing western Hubei province.
Jianghan Plain
A vibrant patchwork of rice paddies, canals, and agricultural networks stretching to the horizon.
Yangtze Meanders
Watch the mighty Yangtze River wind significantly through southern Hubei and northern Jiangxi.
Poyang Lake Distant View
On exceptionally clear days, the northern tip of China's largest freshwater lake is visible to the south.
The right side (F) provides excellent views of Chongqing's urban layout and the karst landscapes of Enshi. This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight which can be intense over central China. Look for the massive Yangtze River bridges when passing over Wuhan and the intricate agricultural patterns of the Jianghan Plain which look best in the golden hour.
