Flying west from Yangzhou, the left side offers the most consistent views of the Yangtze River's southern bends and the dramatic transition from the eastern plains into the karst mountains surrounding Chongqing.

Yangtze River Basin
Spectacular views of the meandering Yangtze River and the complex canal systems of the lower river delta early in the flight.
Wuhan Skyline
A distant but impressive view of the massive tri-city metropolis and its numerous bridges crossing the Yangtze in the distance.
Dabie Mountains
Fly over the rugged, forested terrain of the Dabie range along the Anhui-Hubei border area.
Sichuan Basin Rim
Dramatic views of the limestone cliffs and deep valleys as the aircraft enters the mountainous Chongqing municipality.
For the best visibility, choose a seat in the front half of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. On westbound afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can create glare; morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the river. Keep an eye out for the rugged topography of western Hubei as the terrain changes rapidly.

Jianghuai Plains
Orderly agricultural patterns and small villages characteristic of the fertile plains of Anhui Province.
Han River Valley
The winding path of the Han River as it approaches its confluence with the Yangtze from the north.
Daba Mountain Range
Stunning views of the high mountain ridges that form the northern boundary of the Sichuan Basin.
Jialing River
During the final descent into CKG, watch for the winding path of the Jialing River cutting through the northern hills.
The right side is preferred for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides a clearer perspective of the high Daba Mountains to the north. During the approach to Chongqing Jiangbei, this side often offers a superior view of the unique mountainous urban layout and the industrial outskirts of the city.
