The Yangtze River
Shortly after takeoff from Wuhan, view the winding path of Asia's longest river as it flows through the Hubei plains.
Poyang Lake
Look down to see China's largest freshwater lake, an essential wetland for migratory birds in Jiangxi Province.
Wuyi Mountains
Spectacular UNESCO-listed peaks known for their deep green tea plantations and jagged rock formations.
Central Mountain Range
The 'Spine of Taiwan' appears as a wall of peaks rising over 3,000 meters above sea level as you approach the island.
Yushan (Jade Mountain)
On clear days, the highest peak in Northeast Asia can be spotted protruding through the clouds.
For morning flights, sit on the left to see the sun rising over the East China Sea, though it may be bright. The most iconic views of the Taiwanese mountains occur roughly 20-30 minutes before landing. Ensure you look for Poyang Lake approximately 15 minutes after reaching cruising altitude.
