CJU β†’ SHE

Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a more diverse range of landmarks, including the best views of Hallasan Mountain upon departure and the urban landscape of Dalian and the Liaodong Peninsula during the mid-flight transition to mainland China.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
πŸŒ‹

Hallasan Mountain

A stunning view of South Korea's highest peak and its volcanic crater shortly after takeoff from Jeju.

πŸ™οΈ

Dalian Skyline

A panoramic look at the coastal skyscrapers and modern urban development of the Dalian metropolitan area.

βš“

Port of Dalian

One of China's most significant northern deep-water ports, visible with massive container ships and docks.

🌊

Bohai Gulf Coast

The dramatic meeting point of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea as the flight crosses the Liaodong Peninsula.

🌾

Liaoning Farmlands

Intricate geometric patterns of agricultural fields that dominate the landscape as the plane nears Shenyang.

For the best visibility of Hallasan, request a seat ahead of the wing. On morning flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight glare, making it ideal for photography of the Liaodong coastline. During the winter months, look for sea ice formations along the coast as you approach Northern China.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Jeju Northern Shore

The emerald waters and unique volcanic rock formations along the northern edge of Jeju Island.

⛴️

Yellow Sea Vessels

High-altitude views of the dense maritime traffic moving through the international shipping lanes.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Korean West Coast

Distant views of the complex archipelago and jagged coastline of South Korea's western provinces.

🌫️

Yellow Sea Horizon

Expansive, unobstructed views of the sea horizon, which provides a serene backdrop during cruise altitude.

πŸ™οΈ

Shenyang Suburbs

The growing industrial zones and residential clusters on the eastern outskirts of Shenyang during descent.

The right side is excellent for catching the sunrise on very early morning departures. Keep an eye out for the numerous small islands off the Korean coast, though they may appear distant depending on the specific air corridor assigned by ATC. Check for clear weather over the Yellow Sea to maximize visibility of distant landmasses.
