Tianmen Mountain
Immediate views of the famous 'Heaven's Gate' natural arch and the winding 99-bend road.
Xuefeng Mountains
Aerial perspective of the lush, rolling ridges of the Xuefeng range that defines the region's climate.
Xiang River
The massive waterway that splits Changsha, often filled with cargo barges and river traffic.
Orange Isle
The world's longest inland river island, featuring the colossal statue of young Mao Zedong.
Changsha Skyline
The high-rise towers of the Furong and Kaifu districts, showcasing Hunan's economic growth.
The right side is the 'money side' for this short hop. To see Tianmen Mountain, look out immediately after takeoff. During landing, if the aircraft approaches from the west, you will get a perfect view of Orange Isle. For photography, late afternoon flights offer the best 'golden hour' lighting on the city skyline.
