Mount Jiuhua
One of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism, visible immediately after departure from JUH.
Poyang Lake Basin
The eastern shores of China's largest freshwater lake, showing intricate seasonal water patterns.
Wuyi Mountain Fringes
Distant views of the UNESCO-listed mountain range bordering Jiangxi and Fujian provinces.
Dongjiang Reservoir
A massive, deep blue alpine lake surrounded by lush green peaks in southern Jiangxi.
East Pearl River Delta
The sprawling urban transition from Huizhou into the greater Guangzhou metropolitan area.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the mist rising from the valleys of Mount Jiuhua. Avoid the very back of the plane to ensure the wing doesn't obstruct your view of the lakes. During the rainy season (May-July), keep an eye out for the dramatic expansion of Poyang Lake's water surface.

Yangtze River Bend
If the flight path arcs west, you can catch the massive meanders of the Yangtze River near Chizhou.
Lushan Mountain
The famous misty peaks of Lushan are visible to the west as you pass Jiujiang.
Nanchang Skyline
A clear view of the Gan River and the high-rises of Jiangxi's provincial capital.
Danxia Mountain
Stunning red sandstone landforms in northern Guangdong, known for their unique 'Danxia' topography.
Guangzhou Northern Hills
The descent path usually follows the lush, rolling hills of Conghua before reaching the airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. The Danxia red rocks in northern Guangdong are a highlight for those sitting on this side; look for them about 30-40 minutes before landing. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle color gradients of the Nanchang skyline and the Gan River.
