Mount Lao (Laoshan)
The highest coastal mountain in China, visible as a prominent granite massif against the sea to the east.
Yangtze River Delta
A complex network of shimmering canals, rivers, and the vast expanse of Taihu Lake visible in the distance.
Wuyishan Tea Plantations
Terraced green tea gardens carved into the hillsides as the aircraft descends into the mountainous Fujian province.
Tianyou Peak

For morning flights, the left side provides the best lighting as the sun rises over the sea. During the descent into WUS, look specifically for the 'Nine-Bend River' (Jiuqu Xi) winding through the mountains. Seat yourself away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the cliffs.
