Taihang Mountains
Rugged ridges and steep cliffs marking the edge of the Loess Plateau parallel to the initial flight path.
Funiu Mountain Range
The eastern extension of the Qinling mountains providing a sharp contrast in elevation.
Yangtze Gorges Region
Deeply incised valleys and complex river systems as the flight enters the Hubei-Chongqing-Guizhou border.
Guizhou Karst Peaks
The famous 'Ten Thousand Peaks' area with iconic limestone formations visible during the descent into Anshun.
The right side is superior for landscape photography, especially during late afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the western faces of the Taihang mountains. As you approach Anshun, stay alert during the last 20 minutes of flight for the unique cone-shaped karst hills that define the region's geography.
