Taihang Mountains
The flight traverses the rugged northern ridges of the Taihang range, featuring deep canyons and sharp precipices.
Mount Wutai
On clear days, look north to spot the peaks of one of China's four sacred Buddhist mountains.
Loess Plateau Edge
Observe the unique terraced landscapes and yellow-earth geography as you leave the Shanxi region.
Northern Tianjin Suburbs
A clear view of the rapid urban expansion and greenbelt zones surrounding the northern districts of Tianjin.
For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Taihang Mountains. Sit forward of the wing to ensure the engine exhaust doesn't distort your view of the mountain peaks. Visibility is significantly better in autumn and winter when the regional haze is often lower.
