Which side of the plane to sit from Dongshan Airport (Hailar) to Tongliao Airport (Tongliao)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the deep Hulunbuir Grasslands and the spectacular volcanic landforms of the Arxan-Chaihe region as you fly south.
Hulunbuir Steppe
Endless rolling green hills dotted with white yurts and wandering herds of cattle and sheep.
Arxan Volcanic Field
Spot the distinct circular 'Tianchi' crater lakes and ancient basalt lava flows in the Arxan-Chaihe National Park.
Horqin Sandy Land
Observation of the unique desertification control patterns and sandy grasslands near Tongliao.
This is the 'photographer's side.' In autumn (September), the landscape turns a brilliant gold. Try to book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Arxan craters and the grassland textures perfectly.
Hailar Cityscape
Aerial view of the 'Pearl of the Grassland' and its Russian-influenced architecture immediately after takeoff.
Greater Khingan Slopes
The dense, dark green canopy of China's largest forest range spanning the eastern horizon.
Songliao Farmlands
Intricate geometric patterns of massive agricultural plots as the plane descends into the plains.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a great perspective on the transition from high-latitude forests to the fertile plains of the northeast.
