Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Tongliao Airport (Tongliao)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the intricate Songhua River system and the vibrant agricultural patchwork of the Songliao Plain during the southern descent.
Songhua River Meanders
Intricate loops and oxbow lakes of the Songhua River shortly after departing Harbin.
Harbin Urban Fringe
The rapid expansion and industrial infrastructure on the southern outskirts of the Ice City.
Songliao Plain Grid
A vast, colorful mosaic of corn and soybean fields that define the agricultural heart of Northeast China.
Manchurian Villages
Dense clusters of traditional rural settlements with distinct red-roofed housing.
For morning flights, expect bright sunlight on this side. It is the best side for photography of the river systems. In winter, the frozen rivers create striking white serpentine patterns against the dark soil.
Nen River Basin
Distal views of the wide, flat plains that feed into the greater Songliao wetland systems.
Industrial Vistas
Distant views of the heavy industry and energy infrastructure characteristic of the Daqing-Songyuan corridor.
Horqin Grassland Edge
The noticeable shift from green agricultural land to the sandier, arid tones of the Inner Mongolian steppe near Tongliao.
Choose this side for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset without direct glare. Keep a close watch as you approach Tongliao to see the transition from the fertile plains to the semi-arid Horqin Desert landscapes.
