Dabie Mountains
Rugged terrain visible as the flight traverses the border region between Anhui and Hubei provinces.
Yangtze River Crossing
A clear view of the main channel of the Yangtze, often visible near the historic city of Jingzhou.
Wuling Mountain Range
Dramatic, steep-sided peaks and deep valleys as the flight enters the southwestern highlands.
Guizhou Karst Peaks
The signature 'gumdrop' limestone hills of Guizhou appearing during the final 30 minutes of flight.
Longdongbao Approach
A scenic descent over the jagged peaks surrounding Guiyang, showcasing the city's unique mountain geography.
The right side is the preferred choice for witnessing the spectacular geological shift from flat plains to dramatic mountains. For the best photography, opt for a late afternoon flight when the low sun casts long shadows, accentuating the unique limestone topography of Guizhou. Ensure you are ready for photos about 25 minutes before landing when the karst landscape is most prominent.

Xuzhou Departure
Bird's-eye view of Xuzhou's urban core and the southern reaches of the Yellow River floodplains.
Middle Yangtze Basin
Expansive views of the complex network of lakes and tributaries feeding into the Yangtze River.
Hunan Forested Hills
Dense, rolling green hills of central Hunan that provide a stark contrast to the northern plains.
Guiyang High-Speed Rail
As the plane descends, look for the impressive railway bridges and tunnels cutting through the mountains.
The left side provides a broad perspective of the central China plains and the massive water systems of the middle Yangtze reaches. Avoid this side during early morning flights to escape direct sunlight and window glare. In the winter months, look for low-lying mist clinging to the valleys of Hunan which creates a surreal, traditional painting-like atmosphere.
