Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Jiamusi Airport (Jiamusi)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the transition from the industrial plains of Liaoning to the rugged Wanda mountain foothills and the expansive 'Great Northern Wilderness' wetlands near Jiamusi.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏞ïļ

Hun River Valley

Detailed views of the river valley as it flows through the southeastern outskirts of Shenyang shortly after departure.

🏔ïļ

Wanda Mountains

The rising peaks and forested slopes of the eastern highland ranges become visible on the horizon during the mid-flight phase.

ðŸŒū

Sanjiang Rice Paddies

Witness the incredible scale of China's northernmost agricultural powerhouse, featuring massive, orderly grids of rice fields.

🌉

Jiamusi Waterfront

During the final descent, enjoy low-altitude views of the Songhua River bridges and the Jiamusi city skyline.

The right side is the prime choice for morning flights to catch the early light over the eastern mountains. In September, this side provides a breathtaking view of the golden harvest across the Sanjiang Plain.

Left Side Highlights
7.1
🏙ïļ

Shenyang Urban Core

A sweeping view of the Liaoning provincial capital and its dense urban architecture immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Songhua River Meanders

Follow the silver ribbons of the Songhua River as it snakes through the central Manchurian Plain.

🏭

Harbin Outskirts

Occasional distant views of the industrial developments and logistics hubs north of Harbin's metropolitan area.

ðŸĶĒ

Sanjiang Wetlands

Vast marshy landscapes and bird sanctuaries that define the ecologically rich area between the Songhua and Heilong rivers.

The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare. During the winter, look for the striking contrast between the frozen white riverbeds and the dark agricultural soil.
