Bohai Coastline
Distant views of the Bohai Sea and the busy port infrastructure of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Shenyang Metro
A clear view of the sprawling industrial and urban layout of Liaoning's provincial capital.
Changbai Mountains
Breathtaking vistas of the volcanic mountain range, often snow-capped during the winter and spring.
Xingkai Lake
The massive border lake shared with Russia, visible during the final descent into Jixi.
Sanjiang Paddies
Distinctive geometric patterns of rice paddies and wetlands typical of the Sanjiang Plain region.
The Right Side provides the best viewing for the namesake Xingkaihu (Lake Khanka). Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Changbai mountains. In winter, the lake is completely frozen and white, offering a unique Arctic-like landscape during the final 20 minutes of the flight.

Yanshan Range
Rugged peaks and deep valleys of the mountain range north of Beijing immediately after takeoff.
Chengde Highlands
Aerial views of the mountainous terrain surrounding the historic imperial summer resort city.
Heilongjiang Woodlands
Dense stretches of temperate deciduous and coniferous forests characteristic of the Northeast.
Songnen Plain
Vast agricultural landscapes showing the seasonal colors of one of China's most fertile regions.
On the left side, watch for the transition from the arid Yanshan mountains to the lush green plains of the north. Morning flights are better here to avoid harsh afternoon sun glare, especially when observing the detailed terrain of the Mudanjiang region.
