Lushan National Park
The dramatic, mist-shrouded peaks of Lushan, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its cultural and natural significance.
Poyang Lake
An expansive view of China's largest freshwater lake, which changes size significantly between the wet and dry seasons.
Ganzhou Urban Area
The historical 'City of Hakka' where the Gan River begins its journey, visible through the mountain valleys of southern Jiangxi.
Danxia Mountain Range
Distinctive red sandstone landforms in northern Guangdong, characterized by steep cliffs and unique rock formations.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating Poyang Lake and the Lushan peaks. During the summer monsoon, look for the 'sea of clouds' phenomenon over the Jiangxi mountains. Clear days in winter provide the sharpest visibility of the Yangtze River bridges near Jiujiang.
