Search flights from HET to KHN
Loess Plateau
Unique eroded landscapes and terraced hills characteristic of the Shanxi and Inner Mongolia border.
Yellow River Bends
The mighty Huang He snaking through the gorges near the Sanmenxia area.
Dabie Mountains
A significant mountain range serving as a natural boundary between the north and south of China.
Yangtze River Crossing
The wide, busy waterway of the Yangtze River near the Hubei and Jiangxi border, often filled with cargo ships.
Sit on the right for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. The Loess Plateau's textures are best viewed with high-angle sunlight. Watch for the Yangtze River crossing approximately 30 minutes before landing, as it signals the transition into the humid Jiangxi landscape.
Book Hotels in Nanchang
North China Plain
Vast stretches of organized agricultural grids and industrial clusters across Henan Province.
Zhengzhou Cityscape
The sprawling urban center of Henan, visible as a major transport hub in Central China.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake appearing on the final approach into Nanchang, particularly beautiful at sunset.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The highlight is undoubtedly the descent over Poyang Lake; check the flight path as a northern approach provides the best views of the wetlands.
