Mount Heng (Hengshan)
One of the Five Great Mountains of China, featuring steep peaks and historical temple complexes.
Dongting Lake
A massive freshwater lake appearing as a vast silver mirror, famous for its cultural and ecological importance.
Changsha Skyline
Distant views of the provincial capital of Hunan and its rapidly growing skyscraper clusters.
Yangtze River Confluence
Stunning views of the mighty Yangtze River as it converges with the Han River upon approach to Wuhan.
Wuhan Bridge Network
Glittering views of the numerous massive bridges connecting Wuchang, Hanyang, and Hankou.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Dongting Lake basin. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of Mount Heng. During the descent into Wuhan, the right side often provides a better angle of the city's three-town layout and the Yellow Crane Tower if the flight path approaches from the south.

Guilin Karst Forest
Breathtaking views of the limestone 'tooth' mountains surrounding Liangjiang Airport immediately after takeoff.
Xiang River Meanders
Follow the silver threads of the Xiang River as it winds through the green valleys of Hunan province.
Jingzhou Ancient City
On clear days, the historic walls and urban layout of Jingzhou are visible near the Yangtze banks.
Hunan Rural Patchwork
Intricate patterns of rice paddies and small farming villages that define the central Chinese countryside.
Sit on the left for the best morning light if flying in the early hours to avoid direct glare. This side provides a clearer view of the rugged terrain transitions from Guangxi into the flatter Hubei plains. Watch for the Yangtze River crossing about 20 minutes before landing.
