SHE → HLH
Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Ulanhot Airport (Ulanhot)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior for this northbound route as it avoids the harsh direct glare of the sun during morning and afternoon flights, providing better visibility of the Horqin Sandy Land and the vast Inner Mongolian plateau transitions.

Shenyang Urban Core
Panoramic views of the capital of Liaoning province, including the dense city grid and the Hun River shortly after takeoff.
Liaohe Plain
A vast expanse of agricultural patchwork, showing the intensive farming landscape of Northeast China.
Horqin Sandy Land
Unique textures of the desertified grasslands where sand dunes intermingle with hardy vegetation.
West Liao River
The winding path of the river as it snakes through the arid landscape of the eastern plateau.
High Plateau Horizon
The dramatic transition as the elevation rises into the Inner Mongolian plateau under wide, open skies.
Sit in seat A for the best photography conditions; the sun remains primarily on the right side for much of the day, reducing window glare. In late autumn, look for the high contrast between the golden sandy patches and the darkening grassland. For the best views of the Horqin sands, mid-flight is the peak time.

Choose seat F for views of the Khingan foothills, but be prepared for potential sun glare on midday flights. During the winter, this side offers a stunning view of the snow-covered 'Silver World' of the Mongolian steppe. Watch for the Taoer River meanders during the final 10 minutes of the flight.
