Wuyi Mountains
Aerial views of the lush, jagged peaks of the northern Fujian mountain ranges, known for tea production.
Qiantang River
A clear view of the winding river that leads into Hangzhou Bay, often appearing silvery from above.
West Lake

Anhui Borderlands
The transition from rugged mountains to the flatter, canal-rich plains of the Yangtze River Delta.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Flights departing in the late afternoon (15:00-17:00) provide golden hour lighting over the mountains. Keep an eye out about 40 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic terrain.
