Enshi Grand Canyon
Spectacular views of the deeply carved limestone canyons and high-altitude karst formations in western Hubei province.
Poyang Lake
The massive expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, featuring intricate wetlands and seasonal water level changes.
Mount Lu (Lushan)
The iconic, mist-shrouded peaks of Lushan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its cultural significance.
Zhejiang Highlands
A sea of tea plantations and bamboo forests covering the undulating hills of western and central Zhejiang.
Yandang Mountains
Dramatic volcanic rock formations and sharp vertical cliffs that characterize the coastal landscape of the Taizhou region.
The right side is highly recommended for late afternoon flights, as the setting sun illuminates the mountains of Zhejiang with a golden hue. Keep a close eye out for Mount Lu near the midpoint of the flight; it is often recognizable by the clouds that frequently cling to its summits. Use a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the lakes.

Chongqing Skyline
Bird's-eye view of the dense 'Mountain City' skyscrapers and the confluence of the Jialing and Yangtze Rivers shortly after takeoff.
Upper Yangtze Meanders
Aerial view of the Yangtze River winding through the steep valleys of eastern Chongqing and western Hubei.
Wuhan Metropolitan Area
On a clear day, look north to spot the sprawling urban cluster of Wuhan and its numerous urban lakes.
Dabie Mountains
The northern horizon is dominated by the green, rolling peaks of the Dabie mountain range along the Hubei-Anhui border.
Taizhou Bay
As the plane descends, the industrial ports and shipping channels of the East China Sea coast come into view.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. This side is better for spotting the main course of the Yangtze River during the middle segment of the journey. In winter, the Dabie Mountains to the north are more likely to have visible snow caps than the southern ranges.
