Wumeng Mountains
Stunning views of high-altitude karst formations and the rugged terrain that separates Yunnan from Guizhou.
Jinsha River Valley
Dramatic sight of the upper Yangtze River winding through deep, narrow mountain canyons.
Liangshan Peaks
On clear days, the distant high-altitude peaks of southern Sichuan are visible to the northwest.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the river canyons. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the western slopes of the Wumeng mountains without creating glare.

Zhaotong Urban Area
View of the sprawling high-altitude city nestled in a large basin on the plateau.
Dongchuan Red Lands
Vibrant red soil terraces that create a patchwork of colors across the hillsides near Kunming.
Yangtze Confluence
During the descent into Yibin, look for the 'First City of the Yangtze' where the Min and Jinsha rivers merge.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Watch closely during the final 10 minutes of the flight to spot the distinct color difference between the converging rivers in Yibin.
