Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Khabarovsk-Novy Airport (Khabarovsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Changbai Mountains and the massive confluence of the Amur and Ussuri Rivers during the final approach.
Changbai Mountains
Look south to see the majestic volcanic peaks and the distant silhouette of Mount Paektu.
Songnen Plain
Detailed geometric patterns of the massive agricultural heartland of Northeast China.
Amur-Ussuri Confluence
The dramatic meeting point of two of Asia's largest rivers right before landing.
Ussuri River Border
Trace the winding natural water border that separates China and the Russian Federation.
Khabarovsk Skyline
Excellent views of the city center and the iconic Khabarovsk Bridge during descent.
The right side is ideal for landmark spotting. On morning flights, the sun illuminates the Changbai range perfectly. Ensure you are looking out during the last 20 minutes of flight, as the river system around Khabarovsk is geographically stunning and best viewed from this side.
Lesser Khingan Range
View the dense, rolling coniferous forests of northern Heilongjiang province.
Daqing Oil Fields
Spot the sprawling industrial infrastructure and pumpjacks of China's largest oil field.
Siberian Taiga Border
Observe the transition into the rugged, uninhabited wilderness of the Russian Far East.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It is the best side for observing the transition from the North China Plain into the dense Siberian-style forests. Watch for the winding Nen River mid-flight.
