Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the deep Taiga landscape and the potential to spot the winding river systems that define the border region between China and Russia.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Greater Khingan Taiga

Uninterrupted views of China's largest virgin forest, featuring dense stands of Dahurian larch and white birch.

🏞️

Huma River Basin

Aerial perspective of the meandering Huma River and its complex wetland ecosystem cutting through the mountains.

❄️

Snow-Capped Ridges

During winter months, the rugged mountain folds are highlighted by deep snow, creating a dramatic black-and-white landscape.

🌅

Northern Sunrise

On early morning flights, the sun rises over the Russian border to the east, casting long shadows across the valley floors.

Book an 'A' window seat. Morning flights are most frequent on this route; the left side captures the best light for photography of the forest canopy. In autumn (September), the larch trees turn a brilliant gold, making this one of the most colorful routes in China.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🏔️

Inner Mongolian Highlands

Views of the western slopes where the mountains begin to transition into the higher altitude Mongolian plateau.

🦌

Hanma Nature Reserve

Look for the vast, untouched wilderness areas that serve as a critical habitat for reindeer and cold-temperate wildlife.

🏙️

Jiagedaqi Approach

A clear view of the urban layout of Jiagedaqi, known as the 'Pearl of the Forest,' as the aircraft descends from the north.

Choose an 'F' or 'L' window seat (depending on aircraft type). While the views are consistently green or white depending on the season, the afternoon sun can be quite strong on this side. Keep your window shade down during the cruise if the glare is high, but open it 15 minutes before landing for the city approach.
