Yan Mountain Range
Rugged peaks and deep valleys that form the natural northern barrier of the North China Plain.
Miyun Reservoir
The 'Pearl of Yanshan,' a massive azure body of water visible shortly after takeoff from the Beijing area.
Greater Khingan Range
The flight crosses the lush, forested hills of the Daxing'anling, showcasing a deep green wilderness.
Hulunbuir Grassland
Considered the most beautiful grassland in China, appearing as a vibrant green carpet in summer.
Frozen Winter Vista
In winter, this side showcases an incredible 'Ice World' with white-capped forests and frozen river meanders.
Early morning flights are ideal for the right side to catch the soft sunrise light over the mountains without direct sun glare. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Daxing'anling forests. In autumn, the foliage colors on this side are spectacular.

Spot sections of the Ming-era Great Wall snaking across the mountain ridges north of the Beijing basin.
