Amur River
Witness the scale of one of Asia's longest rivers as it flows past Khabarovsk.
China Borderlands
Look west to see the low-lying plains of Heilongjiang, China, just across the river border.
Lake Khanka
A massive freshwater lake shared by Russia and China, appearing as a vast silver mirror.
Amur Bay & City
Panoramic views of the Vladivostok peninsula and the waters surrounding the city on final approach.
VVO Coastal Line
Rugged coastlines and small inlets characteristic of the Primorsky region's southern edge.
The right side is unbeatable for the approach into Vladivostok. Aim for an afternoon flight to get the best lighting over Lake Khanka and Amur Bay. Look for the distinct border line marked by the Ussuri River during the middle of the flight.

Khabarovsk Suburbs
Aerial view of the industrial and residential outskirts of Khabarovsk immediately after takeoff.
Sikhote-Alin Range
Glimpses of the rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range to the east, home to the Amur tiger.
Ussuri Taiga
Vast stretches of dense mixed forests that change color dramatically with the seasons.
Ussuri Bay
The eastern waters of the Peter the Great Gulf visible during the final descent into VVO.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. In winter, the snow-covered Sikhote-Alin mountains look particularly majestic during the cruise phase.
