Ingoda River
The winding silver ribbon of the Ingoda river valley visible during the initial ascent from Chita.
Hulun Lake (Dalai Lake)
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing as a massive blue expanse near the border.
Inner Mongolian Steppe
The vast, flat grasslands of the Hulunbuir region stretching toward the horizon.
Matryoshka Square
As you descend into Manzhouli, look for the world's largest matryoshka doll at the border theme park.
Sit on the right to see Hulun Lake during the descent; it is the most prominent geographic feature of the flight. During golden hour, the sun reflects beautifully off the lake and the winding river systems near the border.
