Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular gallery of China's diverse geography, featuring the snow-capped Qilian Mountains and the lush, rugged ridges of the Qinling range, which marks the transition between North and South China.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
❄️

Qilian Mountains

Stunning views of high-altitude snow-capped peaks and glaciers along the edge of the Tibetan Plateau.

⛰️

Qinling Mountains

The massive natural boundary separating North and South China, featuring dense forests and jagged ridges.

🌾

Hexi Corridor

The historic Silk Road path providing a sharp contrast between desert oases and the towering mountain ranges.

💧

Danjiangkou Reservoir

A massive blue freshwater lake that serves as the critical source for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

🛶

Han River

The largest tributary of the Yangtze River, which guides the final descent into the watery landscape of Wuhan.

Morning flights provide the best illumination for the Qilian and Qinling mountains. In winter, the snow cover on these ranges is breathtaking. Opt for a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the high-altitude peaks and the transition into the green Hubei province.

Left Side Highlights

🏔️

Bogda Peak

The highest peak in the eastern Tianshan range, visible shortly after takeoff if the flight departs toward the east.

🏜️

Gobi Desert

Expansive vistas of arid plains and unique geological formations stretching across northern China's vast interior.

🌊

Yellow River

The Great Mother River creates winding patterns as it flows through the Ningxia and Gansu regions.

🏙️

Yinchuan Skyline

Aerial view of the 'Phoenix City' located between the Yellow River and the Helan Mountains.

⌛

Badain Jaran Edge

Glimpses of the massive sand dunes belonging to one of the world's highest desert regions.

The left side is particularly stunning during late afternoon flights when the low sun casts long shadows over the desert dunes and the Yellow River. Look for the distinct industrial grids and wind farms scattered across the Xinjiang and Gansu borders.
