Guilin Karst Topography
Spectacular limestone peaks and winding rivers visible as the flight traverses northeastern Guangxi.
Nanchang Cityscape
Aerial view of the Gan River and the expanding urban center of Jiangxi's capital.
Poyang Lake
The northern reaches of China's largest freshwater lake, featuring vast wetlands and seasonal water level changes.
Yangtze River Delta
Intricate networks of canals, bridges, and dense industrial clusters as the flight nears the coast.
Shanghai Skyline
Depending on the approach pattern, a clear view of the Lujiazui financial district and the Bund.
Book an A or B seat for the best views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the right side of the aircraft, preventing glare. In summer, watch for towering cumulus clouds over the Yangtze valley. If landing from the north, the left side often captures the Oriental Pearl Tower and the trio of supertall skyscrapers.
