The irregular, beautiful coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula and western South Korea.
Incheon Archipelago
Dozens of small, forested islands like Sindo and Sido scattered in the shallow coastal waters.
Incheon Bridge
An incredible aerial perspective of the 13-mile cable-stayed bridge spanning the sea.
Shipping Lanes
Major maritime traffic including cargo ships and ferries heading into the busy Incheon Port.
The right side is the premium choice for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography. The landing approach into ICN is almost always more scenic from this side, offering a clear view of the airport's reclaimed land structure.

The snow-capped peaks and rugged ridges of the range bordering China and North Korea.
Yalu River Border
The winding river that marks the international boundary between China and the DPRK.
