The famous winding river that defines the Guilin landscape, visible shortly after departure.
Wuling Mountain Range
Jagged, remote peaks that are part of the same geological system as Zhangjiajie.
Yangtze River
The massive waterway snaking through the mountainous terrain as you approach Chongqing.
Chongqing Peninsula
A stunning view of the high-rise 'Mountain City' skyline nestled between the Yangtze and Jialing rivers.

Dense clusters of limestone 'tower' formations immediately visible after takeoff from Guilin.
Guizhou Terraces
Intricate rice terraces carved into the steep slopes of the southern Guizhou mountains.
Dalou Mountains
The rugged green transition zone between the Guizhou Plateau and the Sichuan Basin.
