Horqin Grasslands
A transition from agricultural fields to the vast, open pastures of Inner Mongolia.
Daqing Mountain Range
The dramatic, rocky peaks of the Yin Mountains that serve as a natural barrier to the Gobi winds.
Hohhot Cityscape
On clear days, the capital of Inner Mongolia is visible to the north mid-flight.
Baotou North Districts
View of the industrial infrastructure and urban layout of China's 'Rare Earth Capital' against the mountain backdrop.
Opt for an afternoon or sunset flight for the most dramatic lighting on the Yin Mountains. This side provides a much more rugged and topographical view compared to the flatter southern plains visible on the left.

Liao River Basin
Intricate patterns of the Liao River system snaking through the fertile Northeast China Plain.
Kubuqi Desert Fringe
Distant views of the northern edge of the Ordos Plateau and the Kubuqi sand dunes.
Yellow River Great Bend
Dramatic views of the Yellow River as it curves north and west near the approach to Baotou.
To see the Yellow River clearly, choose a morning flight to avoid the glare from the southern sun. In winter, the river often features dramatic ice floes or a completely frozen white surface that is highly photogenic.
