Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning approach to Manzhouli, featuring the massive expanse of Lake Hulun and the rolling Xilingol Grassland.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Yanshan Mountains

Rugged ridges north of Beijing, where the Great Wall winds along the peaks.

🌾

Xilingol Grassland

Vast, emerald-green steppes dotted with nomadic yurts and grazing livestock.

🌊

Lake Hulun

One of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing as a deep blue sapphire in the steppe.

🌅

Steppe Sunset

Dramatic golden hour horizons across the flat landscape on late afternoon flights.

Book the left side for the descent into Manzhouli; Lake Hulun is the primary landmark and is best viewed from this side. For evening flights, the sun sets to the west, casting long shadows across the grassland that emphasize the terrain's texture.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Greater Khingan Range

The dense larch and birch forests of China's largest mountain forest region.

🐄

Horqin Grassland

Rolling hills and fertile plains transitioning into the eastern forest zones.

❄️

Winter Taiga

A pristine white landscape during winter, showcasing the frozen beauty of the northern frontier.

🇷🇺

Border Vistas

Distant views toward the Russian border and the winding path of the Argun River.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Daxing'anling mountains. In winter, this side offers the best views of the snow-laden forests, which create a high-contrast 'black and white' landscape from above.
