Huangshan Massif
Witness the breathtaking UNESCO granite peaks and pine forests of the Yellow Mountain immediately after takeoff.
Yangtze River
A grand crossing of Asia's longest river, typically visible near the Anhui and Jiangsu border region.
Yellow River
The distinctive sediment-heavy 'Mother River' of China winding through the North China Plain.
Taihang Mountains
The dramatic mountain range that forms the western boundary of the North China Plain during the descent.
Beijing Skyline
On clear days, the western approach offers views of the Olympic Park and the vast urban sprawl of the city.
Morning flights (08:00–11:00) are ideal to catch the 'Sea of Clouds' over Huangshan. For the best photography, aim for a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion, especially when capturing the mountains during the initial climb.

Taiping Lake
A beautiful, emerald-colored reservoir located just north of the Huangshan scenic area visible shortly after departure.
Jinan Cityscape
Views of the capital of Shandong province, including the dense urban center and the northern industrial corridors.
Grand Canal
Sections of the ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal snaking through the agricultural landscapes of Hebei.
Tianjin Port Area
Distant views of the Bohai Sea coastline and the industrial ports of Tianjin on the eastern horizon.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in landscape from the lush green hills of Southern China to the flat, golden agricultural grids of the North.
