Yangtze River Curves
Track the winding path of the mighty Yangtze River as it snakes through the lower valley.
Nanjing Outskirts
See the massive bridges and industrial hubs of Nanjing as the flight approaches the Yangtze Delta.
Lake Taihu
The star attraction: a massive freshwater lake dotted with islands and fishing boats during the final approach.
Lingshan Giant Buddha
On a clear day during the descent, look for the towering bronze statue near the northern shores of Taihu.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Taihu Approach.' For the best photography, opt for a late afternoon flight when the sun reflects off the Yangtze and Lake Taihu, creating a golden shimmer. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight as the plane descends over the water towards Wuxi Sunan airport.

Dabie Mountains
View the rugged southern ridges of the Dabie Mountains shortly after takeoff from Wuhan.
Hefei Urban Center
Observe the rapidly expanding skyline of Anhui's capital city as you pass to its north.
Lake Chaohu
Spot the vast expanse of one of China's five largest freshwater lakes reflecting the sky.
Jiangsu Plains
Admire the intricate patchwork of rice paddies and irrigation canals that define this agricultural heartland.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides better views of the Dabie Mountains' northern contours and the geometric beauty of the Huai River basin's agricultural layouts. Watch for the transformation of the landscape from the hills of Hubei into the flat, watery plains of Jiangsu.
