Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Jiagedaqi Airport (Jiagedaqi District)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the winding Nen River and the transition from the fertile Songnen Plain into the dense, ancient forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains.
Songhua River Meanders
Intricate water patterns and oxbow lakes visible shortly after takeoff from Harbin.
Nen River Basin
A major waterway that snakes through the landscape, providing a striking contrast to the green terrain.
Wudalianchi Distant Vistas
On very clear days, the volcanic peaks to the northeast can be spotted on the horizon.
Greater Khingan Canopy
Deep, undulating waves of larch and birch forests that define the Jiagedaqi region.
Winter Frost
In winter months, this side provides a stunning view of a completely white, frozen wilderness.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the mountains from the east. Look out for the Nen River roughly midway through the flight. In autumn (late September), the golden larch forests are a must-see from this side.
Songnen Plain
Vast stretches of fertile agricultural land known for black soil and massive crop circles.
Qiqihar Periphery
Distant views of the industrial skyline and the wetlands surrounding this northern hub.
Khingan Foothills
The first signs of rising elevation as the flat plains meet the southern mountain ridges.
Sit on the left during late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Inner Mongolian border, though be aware of potential glare. This side is better for observing the sheer scale of Northern China's agricultural engineering.
