Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Baita International Airport (Hohhot)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the historical Yan Mountains, potential sightings of the Great Wall, and the dramatic approach over the Daqing Mountains into Hohhot.
Search flights from DLC to HET
Jinzhou Bay
The northern coastline of the Bohai Sea featuring industrial ports and sandbanks.
Great Wall Ridges
On clear days, the ancient stone fortifications are visible along the ridges of the Yan Mountains.
Zhangjiakou Highlands
The high-altitude plateau area known for its wind turbines and winter sports venues.
Daqing Mountains
The southern part of the Yin Mountains that provides a rugged, scenic backdrop to the city of Hohhot.
Hohhot Approach
A full view of the Inner Mongolian capital's expansion and the contrasting green landscape during descent.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for history buffs; look for the snake-like Great Wall near Beijing and Zhangjiakou. For the best landing experience, the Daqing Mountains appear sharply on this side just before touching down at Baita Airport. Late afternoon flights offer spectacular golden hour lighting on the mountains.
Book Hotels in Hohhot
Dalian Coastline
Clear views of Xinghai Square and the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula during initial climb.
Bohai Bay
Aerial view of one of China's busiest maritime corridors filled with cargo vessels.
Tianjin Metropolis
A glimpse of the urban sprawl of the Tianjin Binhai New Area to the south.
Taihang Mountains
The massive north-south mountain range that separates the North China Plain from the Loess Plateau.
Loess Terraces
Unique agricultural patterns and erosion gullies typical of the Shanxi and Inner Mongolian border regions.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun. This side is better for observing the industrial heartland of Hebei and the sharp transition from the plains to the Taihang peaks. Watch for the Yellow River in the far distance if the flight path deviates slightly south.
