Ulangab Steppe
Expansive grasslands stretching towards the horizon immediately after departing Hohhot.
Hulun Lake
A massive, shimmering blue expanse that dominates the landscape as you enter the Hulunbuir region.
Sino-Russian Border

Manzhouli Farmlands
Organized agricultural patterns contrasting with the wild grasslands just before landing.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the deep blues of Hulun Lake. The lake is visible approximately 20-30 minutes before landing. In winter, the lake is a stunning, solid white sheet of ice.
