Yellow River Gorge
Witness the iconic river carving through the loess soil at the border of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces.
Luliang Mountains
Fly over the rugged peaks and deep ravines of the Luliang range in central Shanxi.
Taihang Mountain Escarpment
The dramatic drop-off where the high mountains meet the flat North China Plain is best seen here.
Xiongan New Area
View the massive urban development and construction of China's newest city hub south of Beijing.
Baiyangdian Lake
A glimpse of the largest freshwater lake in North China shortly before the final descent.
The right side is superior for geological features. For the best experience, choose a window seat behind the wing to see the Yellow River. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the mountain textures.

Mu Us Desert Edges
Aerial views of the transitioning landscape between the desert and the Loess Plateau near Yulin.
The Great Wall
Spot sections of the Ming Great Wall that snake across the northern Shanxi hills.
Western Hills of Beijing
As the plane approaches the capital, look for the 'Xishan' mountain range that borders the city.
Distant Beijing Skyline
On clear days, the skyscrapers of the CBD and the Olympic Park may be visible to the north.
Sit on the left if you want a chance to spot the Great Wall or the northern mountain ranges. Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the desert terrain without the glare of the southern sun.
