Dabie Mountains
Shortly after takeoff, see the eastern reaches of this significant mountain range to the west.
Dongting Lake
Marvel at one of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible as a vast silver mirror on the horizon.
Guilin Karst Peaks
As you descend into Guangxi, look for the iconic 'sugarloaf' limestone formations unique to this region.
Guangxi Basin
A patchwork of rice paddies and winding rivers as the aircraft approaches Nanning.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while capturing the dramatic textures of the Guangxi karst landscape. The view of Dongting Lake is a major highlight; ensure your window is clear about 45 minutes into the flight. During the descent, the limestone peaks become much more defined, providing excellent photography opportunities.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Yangtze and its tributaries. It offers a great perspective of the transition from the flat plains of Anhui to the mountainous terrain of the south. Keep an eye out for the high-speed rail lines that parallel the route in many sections.
