Guangxi Karst
Spectacular limestone tower karsts and lush green valleys immediately after takeoff from Nanning.
Guizhou Highlands
Deep mountain gorges and glimpses of some of the world's highest bridges crossing the plateau.
Terraced Loess
The intricate, geometric patterns of terraced fields carved into the yellow earth of the Loess Plateau.
Tibetan Fringe
Distant views of the high-altitude peaks of the Minshan range appearing to the west.
Opt for an 'A' seat on morning departures to have the sun behind you. This side offers the best perspective of the sharp transition between the green south and the arid, golden-hued north.

Nanning Cityscape
A sweeping view of the Yong River and Nanning's modern skyline during the initial climb.
Qinling Spine
Crossing the majestic Qinling Mountains, the natural boundary between North and South China.
Yangtze Network
Views of the Jialing and other major rivers as they flow through the rugged Sichuan Basin border.
The Yellow River
The iconic muddy-gold waters of the Yellow River carving through the Gansu mountains on descent.
The right side (F/K seats) is ideal for sunset flights, as the late afternoon light illuminates the Qinling Mountains. Look out for the Yellow River about 15-20 minutes before landing.
