Yangtze River Crossing
Aerial view of the massive Yangtze waterway as the flight crosses from Jiangxi into Hubei province.
Funiu Mountain Range
The rugged peaks of western Henan provide a stark contrast to the surrounding central plains.
Yellow River Meanders
Spectacular views of the 'S' curves of the Yellow River near the border of Henan and Shanxi.
Loess Plateau Terraces
The intricate, labyrinthine patterns of the eroded plateau and traditional agricultural terracing.
Fen River Valley
The industrial and historical basin of Shanxi, including views of urban centers like Taiyuan.
For the best experience, book a late afternoon flight; the low sun angle creates long shadows that emphasize the deep gullies and ridges of the Loess Plateau. Polarized sunglasses are recommended to reduce glare from the high-altitude haze often found over central China.

Poyang Lake
Quickly after takeoff, see the vast expanse of China's largest freshwater lake to the east.
Wuhan Skyline
A distant but clear view of the massive 'Three Towns of Wuhan' and its numerous bridges.
Taihang Mountains
The imposing mountain wall that separates the high plateau from the North China Plain.
Inner Mongolian Steppe
The landscape flattens and colors shift to arid ochre as you cross the Great Wall line.
Daqing Mountains
The majestic northern boundary of the Hohhot basin visible during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look out for the transition from the green, humid Yangtze basin to the dry, rocky terrain of the north. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best views of the Poyang Lake wetlands.
