Iconic mist-covered peaks and a UNESCO World Heritage site located near Jiujiang.

🌊

Poyang Lake

Expansive views of China's largest freshwater lake, particularly vibrant during the wet season.

⛴️

Yangtze River

A grand crossing over one of the world's busiest waterways featuring massive cargo ships.

🛶

Yi River Path

The final descent follows the Yi River, offering a green corridor leading into Linyi city.

The right side is best for morning departures to keep the sun behind you. Look for Mount Lu about halfway through the flight; its distinct silhouette is often visible above the clouds. During descent into Linyi, the river views are exceptionally clear on this side.
