Qinling Mountains
The massive mountain range that serves as the natural boundary between northern and southern China.
Mount Hua (Huashan)
Spot the famously steep and jagged ridges of one of the Five Great Mountains of China about 15 minutes after takeoff.
Song Mountain Area
Look for the peaks of Songshan, home to the Shaolin Temple, visible south of the flight path over Henan.
Yi River Valley
During the descent into Linyi, the plane follows the water systems that give the city its name.
The first 20 minutes are crucial; keep your camera ready for Huashan. In winter, the snow-capped Qinling ridges are particularly stunning. Late afternoon flights provide a golden hour glow over the mountain peaks.
