On the approach, the left side provides the best perspective of the Ulanhot cityscape, including the distinctive Red Temple and the meandering Taoer River.
The left side (facing North) offers the most expansive views of the iconic Xilingol and Ulagai grasslands, providing a clearer look at the rugged transition into the Greater Khingan Mountains.
The right side offers spectacular views of the Miyun Reservoir shortly after takeoff and the scenic meandering Taoer River during the final approach into Ulanhot.
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic geographic transition as you climb from the North China Plain onto the high-altitude Mongolian Plateau, featuring rugged mountain ranges and vast steppe landscapes.
The left side is generally superior for this northbound route as it avoids the harsh direct glare of the sun during morning and afternoon flights, providing better visibility of the Horqin Sandy Land and the vast Inner Mongolian plateau transitions.
