Aerial view of the rapidly expanding urban landscape and the Dahei River winding through the southern outskirts.
Yellow River Great Bend
A stunning view of the iconic 'Great Bend' of the Yellow River as the flight transitions from the Hohhot plain to the Ordos Plateau.
Inner Mongolian Grasslands
Vast stretches of high-altitude grasslands that change from vibrant green in summer to golden hues in autumn.
Kangbashi District
The world-famous planned city of Ordos, featuring wide boulevards and unique monuments like the Ordos Museum.
Ordos Sports Center
The massive, modern stadium complex that serves as a landmark during the final approach to Ejin Horo Airport.
Book a window seat on the left (Port) side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. The flight is extremely short, usually under 45 minutes, so keep your camera ready immediately after the initial climb. The Yellow River crossing occurs at the midpoint and is the scenic peak of the trip.
