Pearl River Delta
Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl and industrial clusters of the Greater Bay Area immediately after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged, green-clad peaks forming the natural border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, visible as a vast expanse of blue and wetlands in the Jiangxi basin.
Lushan Mountain
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its spiritual significance and frequently mist-shrouded peaks.
Yangtze River Crossing
A dramatic crossing of the world's third-longest river as the aircraft enters Anhui province.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On late afternoon flights, the left side will be away from the direct glare of the sun, making it easier to photograph Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River. During summer, the water levels in the lakes are highest, providing the most striking visuals.

Chaohu Lake

Hefei Binhu District

The right side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the mountains.

If the flight approaches from the south, this side provides a great view of Hefei's expanding urban core.
