Zhangguangcai Mountain Range
Rolling peaks and dense ridges that form part of the greater Changbai mountain system.
Northeast Forest Canopy
Continuous stretches of temperate deciduous and coniferous forests that define the region's wilderness.
Xingkai Lake (Lake Khanka)
The most iconic feature of the route; a massive transboundary lake shared with Russia, visible during descent.
Russian Borderlands
The distant horizon to the southeast marks the boundary with Russia's Primorsky Krai region.
The right side is the definitive winner for the final 20 minutes of flight. To see the scale of Xingkai Lake, try to book a window seat away from the wing. In winter, look for the spectacular patterns formed by ice and snow on the mountain ridges.
