Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual journey, featuring the transition from the Bohai coastline to the dense urban landscape of Shenyang and concluding with the breathtaking volcanic landscape of Jingpo Lake during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Bohai Gulf Coastline

Clear views of the industrial ports and the meeting of the Yellow Sea with the Liaoning coast.

🏙️

Shenyang Urban Sprawl

A detailed look at the massive industrial and residential layout of Northeast China's largest central city.

🏞️

Jingpo Lake

A stunning alpine volcanic barrier lake, visible as a sapphire jewel nestled in the mountains during the final approach.

🌲

Mudan River Valley

Winding river paths and dense forest cover characteristic of the Heilongjiang landscape near the destination.

Seat F is highly recommended for the descent; Jingpo Lake is typically visible 15 to 20 minutes before landing. Late afternoon flights provide excellent side-lighting that emphasizes the volcanic ridges and crater topography around Mudanjiang.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Yan Mountain Range

Impressive views of the rugged mountain peaks north of Beijing immediately after takeoff.

🌾

Songliao Plain

Vast, geometric agricultural patterns of the Northeast China Plain, particularly striking during the harvest season.

☁️

Inner Mongolian Fringe

On clear days, the distant high-altitude horizon where the plateau begins to rise can be seen to the northwest.

Select a window seat on the left (Seat A) for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is particularly beautiful in winter when the vast agricultural grids are covered in a uniform blanket of white snow.
