Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Gimhae International Airport (Busan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Pearl River Delta at departure, potential glimpses of Jeju Island mid-flight, and a spectacular coastal approach into Busan, including the Busan-Guyeong Bridge and the Nakdong River delta.
Pearl River Delta
An incredible view of the maze-like waterways and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge system in the distance.
Jeju Island
Often visible on the horizon, look for the shield volcano Hallasan, South Korea's highest peak.
Busan New Port
One of the world's busiest container ports, featuring a massive array of cranes and cargo vessels.
Gadeokdo Island
The rugged coastline of Gadeokdo and the impressive bridge connecting it to the mainland during the landing approach.
Nakdong River Delta
The intricate network of wetlands and agricultural islands at the mouth of South Korea's longest river.
The right side is the clear winner for the approach into PUS. For morning flights, use a polarizing filter to manage the reflection from the sea. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Busan coastline, which is the most scenic part of the journey.
Guangzhou Urban Hub
Aerial view of the dense skyscrapers in the Tianhe District and the iconic Canton Tower shortly after takeoff.
Wuyi Mountains
Lush, mountainous terrain of eastern China as the flight crosses over Fujian province.
East China Sea
Vast blue waters and busy shipping lanes connecting the major ports of Ningbo and Shanghai to the Pacific.
Gyeongsang Highlands
The rugged, forested mountains of the southern Korean peninsula visible during the final descent phase.
The left side is preferable if you want to see the inland mountains of China. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will be in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without window glare.
