Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Chifeng Airport (Chifeng)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Shenyang urban landscape upon departure, the massive industrial scars of the Fuxin open-pit mines mid-flight, and the iconic red rock formations of Hongshan near the destination.
Shenyang Urban Core
Panoramic views of the Hun River and the dense skyscrapers of Shenyang's central districts.
Haizhou Open-pit Mine
The colossal scale of Fuxin's historic coal mines, visible as a massive geological indentation.
Fuxin Mountain Range
Sharp ridgelines and sparse vegetation characteristic of the semi-arid northern climate.
Hongshan (Red Mountain)
The iconic red granite outcrops that serve as the namesake for Chifeng city and the ancient Hongshan culture.
The right side is essential for seeing the industrial landmarks of Fuxin. On approach to Chifeng, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive red rock massifs. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side as the sun moves south.
Liaohe Plain Agriculture
Dense patchworks of farmland across the fertile plains of Liaoning Province.
Daling River Meanders
The winding path of the Daling River carving through the southern hills.
Liaoxi Corridor Highlands
The rugged transition zone where the North China Plain meets the Mongolian Plateau.
Choose this side during morning flights to avoid direct glare while observing the agricultural symmetry of Liaoning. Look for the distinct change in topography as the flight moves from the flat plains into the rolling hills of the Inner Mongolian border.
