Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
A stunning perspective of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the estuary.
Mount Danxia
The famous red sandstone 'Danxia' landforms near Shaoguan, characterized by steep cliffs and unique rock shapes.
Poyang Lake Basin
The vast wetlands and basin area associated with China's largest freshwater lake visible in the distance.
The Yellow River
The muddy, silt-heavy 'Mother River' of China as it meanders through the North China Plain near Zhengzhou.
Taihang Mountains
Dramatic, sheer-faced mountain ridges that define the border between the plains and the loess plateau.
The right side is prime for morning flights to see the sunrise over the East China Sea coast. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes before landing for the spectacular ridgelines of the Taihang Mountains. Use a polarizing filter to cut through the frequent haze over the North China Plain for clearer photos of the Yellow River.

Funiu Mountains

Sit on the left for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun. This side is better for spotting the urban centers of Central China. Watch for the change in landscape from the lush green hills of Guangdong to the more arid loess topography of Shanxi.
