Wuling Mountain Peaks
Spectacular karst formations and jagged limestone ridges visible shortly after takeoff from Qianjiang.
Yangtze River Bends
Vibrant views of the Yangtze River as it winds through the mountainous terrain toward Fuling.
Chongqing South Bank
A glimpse of the high-rise density of the Nan'an District and the southern bridges crossing the Yangtze.
Nanshan Scenic Area
Lush green forests that serve as the 'lungs' of Chongqing, providing a sharp contrast to the urban concrete.
Sit on the left for the best views of the river valleys. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 40 minutes), the aircraft stays at a lower altitude, making ground features very clear. Opt for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you for better photography of the mountain shadows.

Wu River Gorges
The deep green waters of the Wu River cutting through steep canyon walls as the flight heads northwest.
Mountain Mist
Chongqing is known as the 'Fog City'; the right side often catches beautiful cloud inversions over the valleys.
Liangjiang New Area
Massive industrial and residential expansion projects visible on the northern outskirts of the city.
CKG Airport Complex
An excellent top-down view of the terminals and the extensive runway system of Jiangbei International during final approach.
The right side is excellent for seeing the engineering marvels of Chongqing's northern expansion. Be aware that visibility can be low in the morning due to heavy fog; late morning or midday flights generally offer the clearest views of the river gorges.
