Mount Wutai

On clear days, the peaks of this sacred Buddhist mountain can be seen rising above the surrounding range.

Xinfeng Reservoir

The glistening waters of northern reservoirs providing a stark contrast to the arid mountain terrain.

Yellow River Great Bend

A spectacular view of the river as it makes its way through the rugged canyons of the Jinshaan border.

đŸœī¸

Mu Us Desert Edge

As you descend into Yulin, watch the transition from loess hills to the rolling sand dunes of the desert.

The right side is ideal for spotting Mount Wutai. Use a window seat to catch the desert-meets-plateau scenery during the final 20 minutes of flight. Winter flights offer a striking contrast if there is snow on the Taihang peaks, highlighting the jagged topography.
