Which side of the plane to sit from Longjia Airport (Changchun) to Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport (Yanji)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the majestic Changbai Mountain range and the scenic Tumen River valley as you approach the border region near Yanji.
Songhua River Tributaries
Winding blue ribbons of water that carve through the landscape south of the flight path.
Changbai Range
Stunning views of the high-altitude volcanic landscape and distant snow-capped peaks to the south.
Border Vista
Distant glimpses of the rugged mountains marking the frontier between China and North Korea.
Yanji Valley Descent
A dramatic approach into the Yanji basin, offering a full view of the city's unique Korean-influenced architecture.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the iconic Changbai peaks. For late afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the mountain ranges and the final approach into Yanji.
Changchun Urban Fringe
Bird's eye view of the industrial and residential sprawl of Jilin's capital shortly after takeoff.
Songliao Transition
Watch the flat agricultural plains transition into the rolling forested hills of central Jilin.
Laoeling Mountains
Dense northern forest ridges stretching toward the Russian border in the distance.
Northern Yanbian Valleys
Small, orderly agricultural settlements tucked between rugged green peaks during the descent.
Choose this side for softer morning light that illuminates the northern slopes. It is particularly beautiful in autumn when the deciduous forests turn vibrant shades of gold and red.
