Chongqing Confluence
The spectacular sight of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers meeting in the heart of the mountain city.
Enshi Karst Topography
Deep limestone canyons and jagged green pillars characteristic of the Hubei-Chongqing border.
Three Gorges Bends
Dramatic curves of the Yangtze River as it cuts through the Wu and Qutang gorges south of the path.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, featuring distinct seasonal water levels and wetland patterns.
Jingdezhen Tea Hills
Vibrant green rolling hills and porcelain clay mines surrounding the 'Porcelain Capital' during final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves behind the plane, illuminating the river valleys. The view of Poyang Lake is highly dependent on the season; visit in late autumn to see the 'grass sea' or summer for the full lake. Look down roughly 25 minutes after takeoff for the Chongqing skyline.

Chengdu Urban Sprawl
A clear view of the dense urban grid and high-rises of Chengdu shortly after takeoff from Shuangliu.
Daba Mountains
Rugged northern peaks marking the edge of the Sichuan Basin as the flight heads east.
Middle Yangtze Basin
Vast agricultural plains and intricate canal systems throughout the Hubei province.
Lushan Mountain
The northern slopes of the famous mist-shrouded Lushan visible during the descent into Jiangxi.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During winter, this side offers the best chance to see snow-dusted peaks in the northern Hubei highlands. Keep an eye out for the Yangtze River crossing near Wuhan about midway through the flight.
