The descent offers a stark and beautiful view of the arid Inner Mongolian plains and the remote, geometric patterns of the airport's desert surroundings.
The right side offers superior views of the Miyun Reservoir during ascent and a high-probability view of the iconic Erenhot Dinosaur sculptures and the China-Mongolia border gate during the final approach.
The left side provides a more dramatic perspective of the rugged Daqing Mountains shortly after takeoff and a clearer view of the changing topography from lush grasslands to the arid Gobi Desert landscapes.
