Rolling green hills and agricultural valleys immediately following the departure from Shenyang.
Taihu Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible as a vast shimmering expanse shortly before reaching Hangzhou.
Suzhou Skyline
Distant views of the 'Gate to the East' skyscraper and the modern urban sprawl of the Suzhou-Wuxi corridor.
Qiantang River
The iconic winding river of Hangzhou, famous for its tidal bore and the numerous bridges crossing into the city.
Longjing Tea Hills
On the final approach, look for the lush green terraced hills that produce the famous West Lake Dragon Well tea.
Opt for the right side for spectacular sunset views on late afternoon flights. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 25 minutes before landing for the distinct heart-like shape of Taihu Lake. If the plane lands from the north, you may also catch a glimpse of the West Lake in the distance.
