Changsha City Skyline
Excellent views of the IFS skyscrapers and the urban density of central Hunan's capital.
Orange Isle
The famous elongated island in the Xiang River, visible as the plane turns west toward its destination.
Xiang River Crossing
The massive waterway serves as a primary visual landmark dividing the eastern and western districts of Changsha.
Wuling Foothills
The northern horizon showcases the beginnings of the karst mountain formations that lead toward Zhangjiajie.
Select the right side for the most iconic city views. For morning flights, this side benefits from backlighting that makes the river and city structures pop. During the descent into Zhijiang, the right side often catches a better view of the surrounding forested peaks and rural villages.

Xiangtan and Loudi Hubs
Bird's-eye view of the industrial and urban clusters south of the flight path shortly after departure.

A major geographic boundary in China, featuring dense green ridges and deep v-shaped valleys.
Hunanese Rice Terraces
Intricate agricultural patterns carved into the hillsides, showcasing local farming traditions.

The left side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. It provides a more rugged, nature-focused perspective of the Xuefeng mountains. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the flat plains near Changsha to the sharp elevations of the west.
