Tianmen Mountain
Visible almost immediately after takeoff; look for the massive natural 'Heaven's Gate' cave and the winding 99-bend road.
Wuling Mountain Range
Layered karst peaks stretching toward the horizon, offering a deep texture of the Xiangxi landscape.
Enshi Grand Canyon
Dramatic limestone cliffs and deep valleys carved by the Qing River as you cross into Hubei province.
Yangtze River Meanders
Silver ribbons of water cutting through the mountainous terrain as the flight approaches the Sichuan Basin.
Chongqing Peninsula
On the final approach to CKG, this side often faces the dense skyscraper clusters of the Yuzhong District.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of Tianmen Mountain during the initial climb. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the setting sun and to see the mountains before the afternoon haze sets in. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes of departure.

Wulingyuan Forest Park
Glimpse the famous quartz sandstone pillars that inspired the floating mountains in the movie 'Avatar'.
High-Altitude Bridges
Look for engineering marvels like the Aizhai Bridge spanning massive mountain gorges.
Daba Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks along the northern horizon provide a stark contrast to the valleys below.
Three Gorges Perimeter
Distant views of the high-altitude tributaries feeding into the Three Gorges reservoir area.
Chongqing Suburbs
View the rapid urban expansion and industrial hubs of the northern Chongqing districts during descent.
The right side is excellent for seeing the Wulingyuan scenic area shortly after takeoff. It is generally the 'shady side' during afternoon flights, making it better for photography without window reflections. Watch for the impressive bridge infrastructure that dots the mountainous route.
