HRB → JXA
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Jixi Xingkaihu Airport (Jixi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its proximity to the massive Xingkai Lake (Khanka Lake) during the descent and the rolling northern ridges of the Zhangguangcai Mountains.

Zhangguangcai Mountains
View the rugged, forested slopes of the northern Zhangguangcai mountain range as the flight progresses eastward.
Xingkai Lake (Lake Khanka)
The standout feature of the route; this massive freshwater lake on the Russia-China border appears like an inland sea on the horizon.
Jixi Industrial Heritage
Spot the expansive industrial infrastructure and mining sites that characterize Jixi's history as a major coal hub.
Muling River Valley
The scenic river valley guiding the final approach into Jixi Xingkaihu Airport, surrounded by rolling hills and wetlands.
The Right Side is essential for viewing the vastness of Xingkai Lake. For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing. During the autumn harvest season (September to October), the golden fields against the blue water of the lake create a stunning contrast. Note that during winter, the lake may be completely frozen and snow-covered, blending into the surrounding white landscape.

Harbin Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Songhua River winding through Harbin's urban sprawl and the northern Harbin New Area shortly after takeoff.
Songhua River Meanders
Spectacular bird's-eye views of the complex river bends and oxbow lakes that define the region's hydrology.
Sanjiang Plain Mosaic
Vast agricultural patterns of the Sanjiang Plain, showcasing a colorful patchwork of rice and soybean fields in summer and autumn.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sunlight and get the best clarity of the Songhua River. In winter, look for the 'Ice City' effect where frozen river channels create crystalline geometric patterns across the landscape.
