Which side of the plane to sit from Tongliao Airport (Tongliao) to Taiping Airport (Harbin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for observing the unique transition from the arid Horqin Sandy Land to the lush wetlands of the Nen River basin and the industrial sprawl of the Daqing oil fields.
Horqin Grasslands
Witness the ecological transition between Inner Mongolian grasslands and the sandy patches of the Horqin region.
Nen River Wetlands
Aerial views of the winding river systems and seasonal marshes that define the western Songnen Plain.
Daqing Oil Infrastructure
Spot the massive industrial grids and characteristic pumpjacks of China's premier oil-producing region.
Songhua River Bends
As the flight nears Harbin, the wide, silver curves of the Songhua River become a prominent landmark.
Sit on the left for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. The contrast between the sand-heavy grasslands and the industrial landscape of Daqing is most visible during clear summer days.
Songliao Plain Agriculture
Massive, organized geometric patterns of corn and soybean fields stretching to the eastern horizon.
Baicheng Urban Scenery
The dense urban center of Baicheng stands out against the surrounding flat agricultural landscape.
Northern Rail Networks
View the high-speed rail lines that connect Inner Mongolia to the Heilongjiang capital.
Harbin Suburban Expansion
On final descent, observe the rapid development and unique architecture of Harbin's southern districts.
The right side is excellent for winter flights, as the vast plains are often covered in a uniform blanket of snow, highlighting the geometric precision of the region's farms. Morning flights provide the best natural light for photography on this side.
