Guizhou Karst Topography
Spectacular limestone peaks and deep sinkholes visible shortly after takeoff from Guiyang.
Qinling Mountains
The massive east-west mountain range that serves as the natural climatic divide between North and South China.
Wei River Valley
The historic Guanzhong Plain area, featuring a patchwork of ancient agricultural lands near Xi'an.
Loess Plateau
Unique yellow-earth terraces and eroded canyons typical of the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.
Book a window seat on the left for the best views of the Qinling peaks. Morning flights are recommended to avoid the haze that often develops over the central plains in the afternoon. During winter, look for the sharp snow-line on the northern slopes of the mountains.

Wujiang River Gorges
Deep, winding river canyons with emerald water carving through the Guizhou plateau.
Daba Mountains
Dense, forested mountain ridges forming the border between the Sichuan Basin and the north.
Eastern Central Plains
Distant views of the densely populated urban clusters in Henan province as you head north.
Taihang Mountains
The rugged western edge of the North China Plain, visible during the descent into Taiyuan.
The right side is excellent for observing the river systems of the Yangtze tributaries. If flying during the late afternoon, this side remains in the sunlight longer, though glare can be an issue. Watch for the dramatic change in soil color from red to yellow as you approach Shanxi.
