Mayon Volcano
Visible as you traverse Southern Luzon, this nearly perfect stratovolcano is a highlight of the Philippine leg.
Taiwanese Alps
Stunning views of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range, featuring peaks exceeding 3,000 meters above sea level.
Jeju Island
On the final leg, you may spot Hallasan and the volcanic landscape of Korea's premier holiday island.
Busan Harbor
An excellent vantage point for seeing the Gwangandaegyo Bridge and the dense urban sprawl of Busan during descent.
Sit on the left for the most diverse geographic features. For red-eye flights, which are common on this route, the left side avoids the direct glare of the rising sun and provides the best view of the Korean coastline at dawn. Keep your window shade open as you pass Taiwan for the best mountain photography.
