Sanmenxia Reservoir
A massive body of water formed by the first major dam on the Yellow River, visible in the first 15 minutes.
Yangtze River Crossing
A majestic view of the Yangtze River as the flight path cuts across Hubei and Hunan provinces.
Nanling Mountains
Dramatic ridges and deep valleys marking the geographic transition into Southern China.
Pearl River Estuary
Stunning views of the Humen Bridge and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link bridges over the water during descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pearl River Delta. Request a seat far from the wing for clear photos of the coastal bridges. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Nanling range for some of the route's most rugged terrain.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while capturing the soft light hitting the mountains.
