Longquan Mountains
The final ridge of the Sichuan basin, offering a clear visual boundary to the flat plains behind.
Yangtze River
The mighty river appears frequently, showing its massive scale and the heavy traffic of industrial barges.
Jianghan Plain
A stunning mosaic of emerald rice fields and silver-colored irrigation channels stretching to the horizon.
Wuhan Lake District
Countless small lakes and the massive East Lake visible on the southern approach to the city.
Yangtze Confluence
The historic meeting point of the Han and Yangtze rivers, marking the urban heart of Wuhan.
The right side is ideal for capturing the water-rich landscape of Hubei province. For the most dramatic views of the Yangtze and Wuhan's urban core during the descent, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain.

A bird's-eye view of the dense residential blocks and ring roads of the Sichuan capital immediately after takeoff.
Daba Mountain Range
A vast expanse of jagged peaks and deep valleys that separate the Sichuan Basin from Northern China.
Shennongjia Wilderness
The misty, high-altitude forests of western Hubei, famous for their biodiversity and scenic mountain ridges.
Han River Valley
The winding blue ribbon of the Han River as it flows southeast toward its confluence in Wuhan.
