SHEHET

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the fertile Liaoning plains to the vast Inner Mongolian Plateau and the striking Daqing Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Liaohe Basin

The intricate network of the Liao River winding through the fertile agricultural heartland of Northeast China.

🌿

Horqin Grasslands

The beginning of the vast Mongolian steppe landscapes, showing a mosaic of grasslands and sandy patches.

🏜️

Arid Plateau Transition

A dramatic rise in elevation featuring distinct semi-arid geological formations and extensive wind power farms.

🏔️

Daqing Mountains

Massive granite peaks that dominate the northern horizon, providing a stunning backdrop during the descent into Hohhot.

Choose this side to witness the 'plateau rise' where the landscape steps up toward the Gobi. Afternoon flights are ideal as the low sun enhances the golden hues of the grassland and the sharp shadows of the Daqing peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Shenyang Urban Core

High-altitude view of the Hun River and the dense central business district shortly after takeoff from Taoxian.

⛰️

Yanshan Ridges

Continuous mountain ranges marking the southern transition between the coastal plains and the northern plateau.

🧱

Great Wall Fragments

Faint sections of ancient fortifications snaking along the high ridges of the border between Hebei and Inner Mongolia.

Recommended for early morning flights to see the sunrise illuminating the Yanshan range. Use a zoom lens to capture the rugged textures of the mountain ridges during the mid-flight segment.
