Spectacular limestone formations and dramatic 'sugarloaf' peaks characteristic of the UNESCO-listed karst landscapes.
Nanling Mountains

Daba Mountains
Rugged peaks and deep forested valleys of the Sichuan-Hubei border region visible shortly after takeoff.
Yuan River
Winding water paths cutting through the Hunan highlands, providing a contrast between blue water and green hills.
Shaoguan Industry
The transition from the Nanling Mountains to the industrial and logistical hubs of northern Guangdong province.

Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the flight leaves the Sichuan Basin and enters the Central Chinese highlands. During the descent, look for the unique red-soil patterns typical of the Guangdong hinterlands.
