Yan Mountains
Dramatic jagged ridges and deep valleys located just north of the Beijing capital area.
The Great Wall
Visible winding along the mountain crests near Mutianyu and Miyun shortly after takeoff.
Inner Mongolian Border
The transition from the rugged mountains to the rolling hills and flatlands of the plateau.
Daqing Oil Fields
The iconic sight of thousands of 'nodding donkey' oil pumps scattered across the plains during descent.
For the best experience, book an 'A' seat. On morning departures, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the mountains and the Great Wall. Look down about 10 to 15 minutes after takeoff for the wall.

Tangshan & Tianjin
Distant views of the industrial corridors and urban sprawl leading toward the coast.
Bohai Gulf Horizon
On very clear days, the faint blue line of the Bohai Sea can be seen to the southeast.
Songhua River Basin
The winding path of the Songhua River as it meanders through the fertile northeast plains.
Zhalong Wetland Edge
A glimpse of the vast marshlands and lakes that characterize the region surrounding Daqing.
Choose a 'K' or 'F' seat for views of the extensive river systems. In winter, the right side offers a mesmerizing view of frozen, snow-dusted wetlands. Afternoon flights may experience some glare, so a window shade or polarized lenses are recommended.
