Wuhan Urban Core
A spectacular view of the Yangtze and Han rivers meeting in the center of the tri-city metropolis.
Yangtze River Arteries
Dense river traffic and massive bridges spanning the water near the Hubei-Henan border.
North China Plain
A geometric patchwork of farmland that stretches to the horizon, showcasing China's agricultural heart.
Beijing Skyline
On the descent into Nanyuan, the right side provides a broad view of the sprawling capital and the Central Business District.
Book the right side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is superior for urban photography, especially when crossing over Wuhan. As you approach Beijing, look for the intricate network of ring roads and the dense urban structure of the Fengtai and Dongcheng districts.

Sit on the left for better views of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. Watch for the distinct change from the green hills of Hunan to the more arid, brown-toned landscapes of the north. Use the 'Funiu' range as a landmark for the halfway point of the flight.
