Search flights from HRB to HET
Greater Khingan Range
The southern foothills of China's most significant forest range, showing dense timberland and undulating ridges.
Xilingol Grassland
Uninterrupted views of the iconic Mongolian steppe, appearing as a vast green ocean during the summer months.
Daqing Mountains
Rugged, rocky peaks belonging to the Yin Mountains range that provide a dramatic backdrop for the approach into Hohhot.
Hohhot Urban Sprawl
A clear view of the Inner Mongolian capital's development and its unique blend of modern and ethnic architecture.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights as the setting sun illuminates the Daqing Mountains during your descent. Request a seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the transition from forest to steppe. During autumn, the colors of the Khingan foothills are particularly vibrant from this side.

Songnen Plain
Expansive views of the fertile black soil farmlands and agricultural grids shortly after departing Harbin.
Liao River Basin
Aerial perspective of the winding river systems and wetlands that define the border between the plains and the plateau.
Horqin Sandy Land
The striking visual contrast of sand dunes and desertification recovery efforts visible as you move southwest.
Chifeng City

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. In winter, this side offers the best views of the snow-covered agricultural patterns of the Northeast China Plain. Watch for the distinct 'Checkerboard' patterns of sand-fixation projects in the Horqin region.
