Mu Us Desert Fringe
The transition from the sandy dunes near Yulin to the stabilized green zones.
Yellow River Gorges

The expansive blue waters of the historic dam on the Yellow River's middle reaches.
Qinling Foothills

North China Plain
A vast, flat patchwork of fields stretching to the horizon as you enter Henan.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sun reflecting off the Yellow River. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic river bends. In winter, the frozen sections of the river create stunning geometric patterns against the yellow earth.
