Miyun Reservoir
The largest man-made lake in North China, appearing as a massive blue jewel shortly after departure.
Great Wall Sections
Keep a sharp eye for the serpentine lines of remote Ming dynasty wall fortifications along the ridges.
Horqin Grassland
Unique textures of the eastern steppe mixed with agricultural patterns and sand-dune stabilization areas.
Taoer River Meanders
Intricate, silver-ribbon water patterns visible during the descent into the Ulanhot valley.
The right side is superior for landmark spotting, specifically the Miyun Reservoir. For the best photography of the Taoer River during landing, choose a seat behind the wing. Note that afternoon flights will experience significant sun glare on this side.

Yan Mountains
The flight crosses the rugged peaks and deep valleys of the Yanshan range north of Beijing.
Bashang Plateau
Witness the dramatic geological rise where the Beijing plains meet the high Inner Mongolian plateau.
Xilin Gol Steppe
Endless rolling grasslands and nomadic grazing lands characteristic of the central-eastern steppe.
Daxing'anling Foothills
The southwestern edge of the Great Khingan mountains providing textured terrain in the distance.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side offers a vast perspective of the high-altitude plateau and the transition into the Mongolian steppe. In winter, look for the 'white sea' effect of frozen grasslands.
