Poyang Lake
View the vast expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, including its seasonal wetlands and the junction with the Yangtze River.
Dongting Lake
As you cross into Hunan province, the massive silver surface of Dongting Lake appears, surrounded by fertile agricultural plains.
Yangtze River Curves
Frequent glimpses of the Yangtze River's dramatic meanders as it snakes through the Hubei and Hunan border regions.
Luzhou River Confluence
On final approach, view the intersection of the Tuo River and the Yangtze River, defining the urban layout of Luzhou.
The right side provides the most consistent landmarks. For the clearest views of the lakes, choose a morning flight to avoid the common afternoon haze in the Sichuan Basin and central China. Window seats behind the wing are recommended to capture both the horizon and the terrain detail.

Qiandao Lake
Shortly after takeoff from HGH, look for the 'Thousand Island Lake' with its distinctive emerald waters and countless green islets.
Jinggang Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks of western Jiangxi provide a lush green backdrop during the middle segment of the flight.
Guizhou Karst Plateau
As you approach the destination, the terrain transforms into a sea of limestone towers and deep sinkholes typical of the regional geography.
While scenic, the left side often faces direct sunlight on westbound flights, which can cause significant glare. This side is better for late afternoon flights when the sun is lower in the sky behind the aircraft.
