Haikou Skyline
A panoramic view of the Haikou city coast and the modern skyscrapers of the provincial capital.
Dongting Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing as a massive silver sheet in the Hunan landscape.
Wuhan Urban Area
On clear days or night flights, the sprawling lights and dense structure of the Wuhan metropolis are visible.
Central Plains
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Henan province as you approach Zhengzhou.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as you will be shaded from the western sun. Look out for Dongting Lake roughly 60-80 minutes into the flight; its size makes it unmistakable. During the descent into CGO, the grid-like patterns of Henan's farmland offer a unique geometric aesthetic.

Qiongzhou Strait
Clear views of the blue waters separating Hainan Island from mainland China immediately after takeoff.
Leizhou Peninsula
The red soil and agricultural patchworks of the peninsula's western coastline are highly visible.
Nanling Mountains
Rugged, verdant mountain ranges along the border of Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
Yangtze River Crossing
A spectacular view of the twisting Yangtze River as the flight passes over Hubei province.
For the best experience on the left, choose a morning flight to avoid the direct afternoon sun. Watch for the dramatic transition from the tropical landscapes of Hainan to the more rugged hills of Guangxi and Hunan. The Yangtze River is a major landmark to spot about mid-flight.
