A clear view of the Yong, Yao, and Fenghua rivers meeting in the heart of Ningbo immediately after takeoff.
Lake Tai Panorama
Stunning views of the southern and western shores of China's third-largest freshwater lake.

Aerial perspective of the massive Yangtze River and the intense shipping traffic near the Jiangsu border.
Anhui Farmlands
Geometric patterns of the Huai River basin's agricultural heartland.
Taihang Foothills
The dramatic transition from the North China Plain to the rugged Taihang Mountain range as the plane prepares to land.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct eastern sun glare. This side is particularly scenic during the final 30 minutes of the flight when the mountains become visible to the west. Watch for the glittering surface of Lake Tai roughly 20 minutes into the flight.

Sections of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal visible as a distinct artery through the plains.
North China Plain
