Our Recommendation

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏯

Beijing Skyline

Potential views of the CBD skyscrapers and the historic Central Axis during the climb.

⛰️

Western Hills

The mountainous fringe of the capital that marks the edge of the Mongolian Plateau.

🏙️

Zhengzhou Hub

The dense urban grid of Henan's capital and its massive railway junctions.

🌲

Dabie Mountains

A stunning stretch of forested peaks and deep valleys on the border of Anhui and Hubei.

🍵

Jingdezhen Hills

The mist-covered green hills and tea plantations surrounding the 'Porcelain Capital'.

Choose a morning flight for the best photographic lighting over the Dabie Mountains. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes of flight for iconic views of Beijing's urban development, provided the flight path heads south.

🏙️

Eastern Beijing

Vast views of the Tongzhou District and the starting point of the Grand Canal.

🌾

North China Plain

Geometric patterns of agricultural fields stretching across Hebei and Henan.

🌊

Yellow River

A clear view of the silt-heavy 'Mother River' as it meanders through Henan province.
