Search flights from ZAT to CKG
Wumeng Mountains
High-altitude karst peaks and rugged ridges of one of Yunnan's most famous mountain ranges.
Chishui River Valley
The winding path of the 'Red Water' river, known for its unique geology and liquor production history.
Yangtze River Bend
Expansive views of the mighty Yangtze River as it carves its way toward the center of Chongqing.
Chongqing Peninsula
A stunning view of the Yuzhong District skyscrapers and the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers upon approach.
Choose a window seat for the spectacular descent into Chongqing. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Wumeng Mountains. Watch for the 'foggy city' effect over the Yangtze, which is most dramatic in the early morning or winter months.

Aerial view of Zhaotong's urban development nestled within the Yunnan mountains immediately following departure.
Jinsha River Tributaries
Glances of the deep river valleys that feed into the upper reaches of the Yangtze River system.
Sichuan Basin Rim
The dramatic transition as the terrain drops from the high Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau into the lower Sichuan Basin.
Sit near the front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is better during afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun, providing clearer views of the deep valley shadows.
