Search flights from JZH to CKG
Mount Xuebaoding
The highest peak of the Min Mountains (5,588m), often visible with its permanent snow cap shortly after departure.
Longmen Mountains
The dramatic geological boundary where the high plateau drops sharply into the low-lying Sichuan Basin.
Sichuan Basin Patchwork
A dense mosaic of terraced farms and misty hills that characterize the heart of the Sichuan province.
Chongqing Skyline
Exceptional views of the Yuzhong Peninsula and the massive bridges crossing the Yangtze and Jialing rivers during arrival.
The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route. Early in the flight, look for Xuebaoding, the 'Snowy Treasure Peak.' For the descent into CKG, the right side typically offers the iconic view of the 'Mountain City' skyline and the confluence of the two rivers. Morning flights are recommended to avoid the heavy haze often found over the Sichuan Basin in the afternoon.

Visible shortly after takeoff, you may spot the golden travertine terraces and turquoise pools of the Huanglong Valley.
Eastern Minshan Range
A continuous chain of snow-capped peaks and deep alpine valleys lining the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Jialing River Upper Reaches
Watch as the Jialing River begins to snake through the rugged terrain of northern Sichuan.
Jiangbei New Area
Modern urban clusters and high-rises appearing as the flight descends into the northern sectors of Chongqing.
Sit on the left for a potential glimpse of the Huanglong scenic area immediately after takeoff from JZH. Because JZH is a high-altitude airport, the climb is steep, providing an aerial-map-like view of the limestone geology. This side is also better for avoiding direct afternoon sun on southbound flights.
