Qinling Mountains
The massive 'Dragon's Vein' of China, featuring dramatic peaks that divide the north and south of the country.
Yangtze River Bends
Spectacular views of the winding Yangtze River as it cuts through the central Hubei plains.
Lushan National Park
The mist-covered silhouettes of the Lushan range appearing shortly before the descent into Jingdezhen.
Poyang Lake
Views of China's largest freshwater lake and its intricate wetlands just west of the flight path.
The right side is the definitive choice for landscape photography. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the plane or on the right, providing excellent lighting for the Qinling Mountains. During winter, look for the sharp snow-line contrast on the Qinling peaks which marks the climatic divide of China.

A sprawling view of the ancient capital's modern expansion and the Wei River valley during the initial climb.
Central Plains
Vast agricultural landscapes of the Nanyang Basin stretching toward the Henan border.
Dabie Mountains

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is better for seeing the density of urban development in the Hubei corridor. Keep an eye out for the Han River as it flows toward its confluence with the Yangtze.
