Dabie Mountains
Fly parallel to this major mountain range in Anhui, featuring dense forests and rugged ridge lines.
Three Gorges Dam
Look down approximately 30-40 minutes before landing to see the massive concrete structure and the rising waters of the reservoir.
Yangtze Gorges
The dramatic cliffs of the Wu and Qutang Gorges are visible as the flight path follows the river's path westward.
Shennongjia Forest
High-altitude wilderness areas known for their biodiversity and mist-covered peaks visible to the north.
This is the 'scenic side' for geography buffs. The Three Gorges Dam is the star attraction; identify it by the massive ship locks. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the scale of the Yangtze's deep canyons during the descent.

Taihu Lake
Immediately after departure from WUX, enjoy expansive views of China's third-largest freshwater lake to the south.
Wuhan Metropolitan Area
Catch a distant glimpse of the massive urban sprawl where the Yangtze and Han rivers converge.
Enshi Karst Topography
As you enter the Hubei-Chongqing border, the terrain turns into sharp, verdant limestone peaks and deep valleys.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch for the intricate canal networks of the Jiangnan region in the first 15 minutes of flight. During the descent into CKG, this side often sees the southern urban reaches of Chongqing.
