Mount Kunyu Foothills
The green, rolling mountain ranges of eastern Shandong visible immediately after takeoff from Yantai.
The Grand Canal
The world's longest ancient canal appearing as a distinct, straight waterway cutting through the Jiangsu plains.
Lake Taihu
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, shimmering to the west as the plane enters the southern delta region.

Look for the massive urban clusters of the Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou corridor for a glimpse into China's rapid development.
