Three Gorges Region
Spectacular views of the deeply incised river valleys and karst topography of western Hubei province.
Yandang Mountains
A UNESCO Global Geopark featuring iconic rhyolite peaks and steep cliffs visible during the descent into Wenzhou.
East China Sea Coastline
As the plane turns for final approach, the rugged coastline, numerous small islands, and the Ou River estuary come into view.
Wenzhou Port
A bird's-eye view of one of China's busiest coastal trading hubs and the massive bridges connecting the city.
Sit here for the best 'scenic' experience. Afternoon flights offer excellent lighting on the Yandang Mountains during descent. In summer, you can often see towering cumulus clouds over the mountains of Fujian and Zhejiang. Request a window seat forward of the wing to ensure the landing gear doesn't block the coastal view.

Daba Mountains
Aerial views of the steep, forested ridges that form the northern boundary of the Sichuan Basin shortly after departure.
Wuhan Urban Cluster
On clear days, the massive urban sprawl of Wuhan and its numerous lakes can be seen along the middle reaches of the Yangtze.
Poyang Lake
The northern edges of China's largest freshwater lake, which changes dramatically in size depending on the season.
Hangzhou Bay
Distant views of the densely populated Zhejiang plains and the industrial hubs near the Qiantang River estuary.
Choose this side on morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers better views of the flatter, more industrialized landscapes of the Yangtze River Delta's southern edge. Keep an eye out for the complex network of canals and rivers as you enter Zhejiang province.
