Which side of the plane to sit from Lindu Airport (Yinchun) to Taiping Airport (Harbin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers superior views of the winding Songhua River as you approach Harbin, along with expansive vistas of the dense 'Green Sea' forest of the Lesser Khingan Mountains shortly after takeoff from Yichun.
Lesser Khingan Canopy
Witness the dense, unbroken forest canopy of the Xiao Hinggan Ling range immediately after departure.
Songhua River Bends
Exquisite views of the wide, meandering Songhua River as the aircraft aligns for the approach into Harbin.
Songnen Plain Patchwork
Geometric patterns of the fertile agricultural heartland of Heilongjiang Province during the descent.
Harbin Eastern Outskirts
A sprawling view of the industrial and residential development on the eastern edge of the provincial capital.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to catch the sun illuminating the forest mist. In autumn (late September to early October), the 'Five-Color Hills' offer a stunning palette of reds and golds. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the river loops isn't obstructed.
Tangwang River Valley
Aerial views of the river valley that carves through the northern mountain terrain.
Dailing Forest Vistas
Rugged, forested ridges that define the high points of the Lesser Khingan range.
Suihua City Horizon
The urban landscape of Suihua visible in the distance against the flat horizon of the plains.
Harbin New Area
Views of the modern Hulan district and the high-tech development zones on the north side of the city.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Songnen Plain. Look for the distinct change in topography as the mountains abruptly give way to the flat plains near Suihua. Winter flights offer a stark, beautiful 'black and white' landscape of snow and dark pines.
