Dongting Lake
The second largest freshwater lake in China, offering a sprawling blue vista in northern Hunan.
Mount Heng (Hengshan)
One of the Five Great Mountains of China, featuring high peaks and ancient temple sites visible from cruise altitude.
Leizhou Peninsula
The distinct finger-like projection of mainland China pointing toward Hainan Island.
Haikou West Coast
Excellent views of the Haikou skyline and holiday resorts during the final descent into Meilan Airport.
For sunset flights, this side provides spectacular colors over the inland lakes. Keep your eyes peeled as you pass Yueyang to spot the massive scale of the Dongting Lake basin. During the winter, the air is often clearer for viewing the southern coastline.
