Loess Plateau
Incredible 'thousand-gully' erosion patterns and terraced hillsides unique to north-central China.
Yellow River Meanders
The dramatic bends of the river as it carves through the Ordos Loop region.
Lüliang Mountains
Parallel mountain ranges in Shanxi province offering deep valley views.
Fen River Valley
A glimpse into the ancient agricultural heartland and historical corridors of the Jin region.
Wuhan Urban Cluster
The vast network of lakes and the confluence of the Yangtze and Han Rivers during the final descent.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. The Loess Plateau topography is most visible between 30 and 60 minutes into the flight. Keep your camera ready during the descent into Wuhan for a view of the city's massive lakes and Yangtze River bridges.

The rugged southern edge of the Mongolian Plateau visible shortly after departure from Hohhot.
Taihang Mountains
Dramatic cliffs and steep limestone ridges forming the boundary between the plateau and the North China Plain.
Zhengzhou Skyline
A sprawling view of the capital of Henan Province, one of China's most significant transport hubs.
Yellow River Span
The wide, sediment-heavy riverbed crossing between the Shanxi and Henan borders.
Sit on the left for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the North China Plain. This side provides the best distance views of the Taihang range. During winter, look for the stark contrast between the industrial plains and the snow-capped eastern peaks.
