Yangtze River Meanders
Watch the mighty Yangtze River snake through the landscape as the flight heads east-southeast.
Mufu Mountains
Observe the rolling green peaks of the Mufu and Lu mountain ranges to the south.
Qiantang River
The massive estuary and the bridges of Hangzhou come into focus during the final approach.
West Lake & Tea Hills
On clear days, the iconic West Lake and the Longjing tea plantations are visible just before touchdown.
This is the 'scenic' side for the Hangzhou arrival. Choose this side for afternoon flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Qiantang River. Landmarks are most prominent during the last 20 minutes of the flight; ensure your window is clear of condensation.

Dabie Mountains
View the northern ridges of the Dabie Mountain range as you cross the Hubei-Anhui border.
Hefei Urban Area
The sprawling skyline of Anhui's capital is often visible to the north mid-flight.
Lake Taihu
One of China's largest freshwater lakes appears as a vast blue expanse during the descent phase.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Keep an eye out for the distinct geometric patterns of the agricultural plains in Anhui province. During winter, look for snow-capped peaks in the Dabie range.
