The most significant landmark on the route, featuring 72 peaks often shrouded in a picturesque sea of clouds.
Zhuzhou Industrial Zone
A view of one of China's primary locomotive manufacturing bases and railway junctions.
Luoxiao Foothills
The rolling, densely forested hills that mark the transition between the central basin and the eastern mountains.
Changsha Huanghua Approach
Aerial view of the rapidly expanding eastern suburbs of Changsha during the final descent phase.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. Mount Heng usually appears about halfway through the short flight; keep your camera ready as the peaks appear suddenly. Visibility is often best in late autumn when the regional haze clears.
