Mount Heng (Heng Shan)
One of the Five Great Mountains of China, often appearing above a layer of morning mist.
Changsha Skyline
A clear view of the sprawling capital of Hunan, including the skyscrapers and the long Orange Isle.
Mufu Mountain Range
Densely forested ridges that mark the border regions between Hunan, Jiangxi, and Hubei.
Yangtze River Meanders
The mighty Yangtze River comes into full view with heavy barge traffic visible as you approach Wuhan.
Sit on the right for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while seeing the sunrise over the Luoxiao Mountains. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes after takeoff for the best view of Mount Heng. During the descent, the right side usually provides a better view of Wuhan's extensive bridge network across the Yangtze.
