Which side of the plane to sit from Tongliao Airport (Tongliao) to Dongshan Airport (Hailar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional vantage point for the transition from the Horqin plains to the lush Hulunbuir grasslands, with distant views of the forested Greater Khingan Range foothills.

Tongliao City View
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a full view of Tongliao's urban layout and the wide Xiliao River bed.
Greater Khingan Range
Catch glimpses of the undulating, forested hills of the Greater Khingan Mountains flanking the eastern horizon.
Hulunbuir Steppe
Experience the vast, seemingly infinite green expanse of China's most famous grasslands as you enter the Hailar region.
Yimin River
See the prominent Yimin River flowing through the grasslands toward the city of Hailar during the approach.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the steppe. In summer (June-August), the grasslands are vibrantly green; in winter, they transform into a spectacular, pristine white tundra. Morning flights provide the best side-lighting for the mountain terrain to the east.

Horqin Grassland Patterns
Observe the unique mosaic of sandy lands and vegetation restoration projects characteristic of the western Tongliao region.
Jarud Banner Outskirts
Aerial views of the Mongolian pastoral settlements and structured agricultural plots as the plane heads north.
Hailar River Meanders
During the final descent, watch for the intricate, winding curves of the Hailar River cutting through the steppe landscape.
Choose this side on morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. The river meanders near the end of the flight are particularly striking during the late afternoon 'golden hour' when the water reflects the sky.
