Clear views of the Kinmen archipelago located just off the coast of Xiamen during the initial climb.
Wuyi Mountains
A stunning look at the 'Thirty-Six Peaks' of the Wuyishan National Park, famous for its tea plantations and winding Nine-Bend River.
Huangshan (Yellow Mountain)
The granite peaks and ancient pines of Huangshan are often visible to the northeast during the middle segment of the flight.
Mount Jiuhua
