Changbai Mountain Range
View the northern ridges and forested foothills of this iconic volcanic mountain range shortly after takeoff.
Songhua Lake
A massive, winding turquoise reservoir that appears mid-flight, surrounded by dense greenery.
Jilin City South
The southern industrial and residential zones of Jilin City, divided by the winding Songhua River.
Eastern Jilin Forests
Vast stretches of Manchurian forest that turn vibrant gold and red during the autumn months.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for photos of Songhua Lake. During winter, look for the 'Rime' effect on trees near the river if flying early in the morning.
