Yalu River
The winding silver thread of the Yalu River, marking the border between China and North Korea.
Changbai Mountains
Densely forested ridges and high-altitude volcanic terrain that dominate the eastern horizon.
Mount Paektu
On exceptionally clear days, the distant silhouette of the iconic volcanic peak is visible.
Dandong Border City
Aerial perspective of the significant border crossing point near the Yellow Sea estuary.
The right side is essential for border photography. Request a window seat between rows 10-20 for the best angle of the mountains. During winter, the snow-covered peaks are particularly dramatic, so aim for a flight between 10 AM and 2 PM for the highest sun angle and clearest visibility.

Bohai Coastline
Initial views of the western Liaodong Peninsula coastline and the industrial ports near Dalian.
Shenyang Skyline
Distant views of the sprawling urban center of Liaoning Province as the flight heads north.
Songliao Plain
The vast agricultural heartland of Northeast China, featuring a patchwork of fields.
Choose a seat ahead of the wing to capture the expansive plains without engine obstruction. Morning flights are best for the left side to avoid direct sun glare from the east.
