Aerial perspective of the historic mountain terrain surrounding the city of Yan'an shortly after takeoff.

Deeply forested and rugged ridges located on the border between Shaanxi province and Chongqing.
Jialing River Bends
The spectacular, serpentine curves of the Jialing River as it carves through the mountains toward the city.
