Yellow River Great Bend
Witness the massive northern curve of the Yellow River as it defines the border of the Ordos Plateau.
Kubuqi Desert Edge
Observe the golden dunes of China's seventh-largest desert meeting the green transition zones.
Hetao Plain
View the 'Granary on the Frontier,' a lush agricultural region irrigated by the Yellow River since ancient times.
Kangbashi District
Look down at the modern, master-planned urban layout of Ordos, known for its unique architectural landmarks.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Yellow River during the mid-flight segment. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the desert dunes and the river's reflection without glare. This is a very short flight (approx. 40-50 mins), so keep your window shade up from takeoff.

Loess Plateau Scenery
Characteristic eroded gullies and terraced landscapes typical of the Inner Mongolian plateau.
Daqing Mountains
The rugged mountain range that forms a natural barrier to the north of the Hohhot city basin.
Hohhot Skyline
As the plane descends, enjoy views of the Inner Mongolian capital's expanding urban sprawl and its prominent landmarks.
Plateau Horizon
A vast, unobstructed view of the high-altitude horizon where the sky meets the rolling plains.
The right side is best during the final approach into Hohhot Baita Airport, offering views of the city and the northern mountains. For morning flights, this side provides excellent soft lighting for photos of the plateau terrain. Since the flight is short, the cruise altitude is low, offering better detail of the ground features.
