Dabie Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged peaks and forested ridges that separate the Huai River and Yangtze River basins.
Hefei Metropolitan Area
A clear view of the sprawling urban development and infrastructure of the Anhui provincial capital.
Taihu Lake
The massive expanse of one of China's largest freshwater lakes, often visible on the horizon during the descent.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
On northern approach patterns, catch a glimpse of this record-breaking trans-oceanic bridge spanning the bay.
Yangtze Delta Waterways
The intricate network of canals, smaller rivers, and industrial shipping lanes that define the region's economy.
Sit on the left for better lighting on morning flights to avoid the southern sun. This side is also strategic for spotting the massive Hangzhou Bay Bridge if the air traffic control routes the flight on a northern arrival path. Keep an eye out for the transition from the mountainous Anhui terrain to the flat, water-rich plains of the delta.

Wuling Mountain Range
The flight path passes south of the Three Gorges, offering views of the karst topography and deep valleys of eastern Chongqing.
Poyang Lake Basin
Distant but impressive views of the wetlands surrounding China's largest freshwater lake to the south.
Siming Mountains
The lush, green mountainous region located just southwest of Ningbo, visible during the final approach.
Ningbo City Skyline
Direct views of the Yong River and the dense urban core of Ningbo as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is preferred for late afternoon or sunset flights to capture the golden hour glow over the Zhejiang hills. It offers better views of the Siming Mountains and the southern outskirts of Ningbo during the landing phase. If the flight path stays slightly south, you may see the shimmer of the East China Sea in the distance.
