Shenyang Metropolis
A clear view of the sprawling industrial and urban layout of the Liaoning provincial capital.
Songnen Plain
Vast, orderly agricultural grids that define Northeast China's 'Black Earth' breadbasket region.
Zhalong Nature Reserve
A stunning mosaic of marshes and lakes, famous as a sanctuary for the rare red-crowned crane.
Distant Changbai Foothills
In high visibility conditions, the eastern horizon reveals the rising terrain leading toward the Jilin mountains.
This is the optimal side for morning flights as the sun illuminates the landscape without glare. The highlight is the approach into Qiqihar; the Zhalong Wetlands are best seen from this side at lower altitudes. Bring binoculars to spot the white dots in the marshes—these are often the famous cranes that the city is known for.

Laizhou Bay
Aerial views of the transition from the Shandong coastline into the northern reaches of the Bohai Sea.
Liaohe Delta
Witness the unique coastal wetlands near Panjin, famous for its seasonal 'Red Beach' seepweed blankets.
Daqing Oil Fields
Intricate geometric patterns formed by thousands of pumpjacks and service roads in China's premier oil hub.
Inner Mongolian Border
On clear days, the distant horizon shows the transition toward the rolling hills of the Inner Mongolian plateau.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the northern plains. Keep an eye out for the distinct lattice-work of the Daqing oil fields, which look like a massive industrial circuit board from 30,000 feet. Winter flights offer a stark, monochromatic beauty as the Liaohe river system freezes over.
