Which side of the plane to sit from Jiagedaqi Airport (Jiagedaqi District) to Dongshan Airport (Hailar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular transition from the dense, rugged forest canopy of the Daxing'anling mountains into the vast, open expanses of the Hulunbuir Grasslands, featuring the winding Hailar River.
Search flights from JGD to HLD
Inner Mountain Peaks
Dramatic views of the higher, more rugged interior peaks of the Greater Khingan Range shortly after takeoff.
Hailar River Meanders
Breathtaking views of the silver, winding river loops as they snake across the emerald steppe.
Hulunbuir Grasslands
One of the world's most famous natural pastures, appearing as an endless green sea reaching the horizon.
Hailar City Skyline
A clear view of the urban development of Hailar rising suddenly from the surrounding flat plains during descent.
The right side is superior for photography during the morning to avoid the sun's glare. The most dramatic views occur in the final 15 minutes of the flight as the forest abruptly gives way to the grassland. In winter, this side offers a stunning 'snow kingdom' aesthetic with frozen river patterns visible from above.

Daxing'anling Canopy
Dense clusters of Larch and White Birch trees covering the rolling ridges of the Greater Khingan Range.
Nenlin Railway
Occasional sightings of the historic mountain railway snaking through deep forested valleys.
Forestry Settlements
Small, isolated logging communities characterized by traditional colorful rooftops tucked between ridges.
Plateau Horizon
The gradual flattening of the horizon as the flight moves toward the Mongolian Plateau.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights, which highlights the texture of the forest ridges. Keep an eye out for the unique 'checkered' patterns of managed forest sectors near the start of the journey.
