Lake Khanka
The largest freshwater lake in the Far East, offering a massive expanse of blue water or white ice depending on the season.
Sino-Russian Border
Aerial view of the Ussuri River, marking the natural boundary between Russia and Heilongjiang, China.
Ussuri Lowlands
Vibrant agricultural mosaics and wetlands that contrast sharply with the surrounding rugged wilderness.
Khabarovsk City Skyline
Views of the urban layout and the massive Amur River bridges during the approach to the airport.
Sit on the left for better views of the international border. In winter, Lake Khanka looks like a vast arctic desert. For morning flights, this side is shaded, making it perfect for glare-free photography of the river systems.

Sikhote-Alin Mountains
Distant views of the UNESCO-listed mountain range, home to the Amur tiger and dense temperate forests.
Endless Taiga
Deep, untouched coniferous forests stretching eastward toward the Sea of Japan.
Khor River Valley
A major, winding mountain river that flows through the rugged terrain of the Khabarovsk Krai.
VVO Departure
A great perspective of the Artyom hills and the northern outskirts of the Vladivostok metropolitan area.
Choose the right side if you prefer mountain landscapes and deep wilderness. This side gets the most sun during morning flights, so bring sunglasses. The autumn colors of the taiga (late September) are particularly stunning from this side.
