Kunming Urban Vista
Panoramic views of the 'City of Eternal Spring' and the red soil plateaus surrounding Changshui Airport shortly after takeoff.
Wumeng Mountain Range
Spectacular sight of the rugged peaks and deep river valleys marking the border between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
Guizhou Karst Formations
A continuous sea of conical limestone hills and mist-covered valleys unique to this region of Southwest China.
Min-Yangtze Watershed
Aerial views of the northern tributaries feeding into the Yangtze river system as the terrain transitions toward the plains.
Opt for a morning flight to see the karst peaks piercing through the frequent morning fog of the plateau. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the transition from 2000-meter peaks to the low-lying Jianghan Plain. Afternoon flights on this side may experience some glare during the initial climb out of Kunming.

Fanjingshan Region
Distant views of the isolated, UNESCO-protected mountain peaks of eastern Guizhou if the flight path tracks slightly south.
Jianghan Plain
The sudden transition into the vast, emerald-green agricultural heartland of Hubei, crisscrossed by canals and small lakes.
Yangtze River Bend
A stunning view of the wide Yangtze River as it snakes through the Hubei landscape during the final descent phase.
Wuhan Triple Towns
The dense urban skyline of Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang and the confluence of the Yangtze and Han Rivers just before landing.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch a sunset over the Hubei wetlands. Pay close attention during the last 15 minutes of flight; the descent into WUH often provides a perfect view of the massive Yangtze River bridges and the sheer scale of Wuhan's urban sprawl.
