Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the sprawling Zhoushan Archipelago and a better angle for the northern coastline of Jeju Island upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Changsha Cityscape

Aerial view of Changsha's rapid urban development and the Xiang River winding through the city shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Poyang Lake

A glimpse of China's largest freshwater lake to the north, especially vibrant during the summer high-water season.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

A stunning collection of hundreds of islands off the coast of Ningbo, visible as the flight transitions from land to the East China Sea.

🚢

East China Sea Shipping Lanes

View of one of the world's busiest maritime corridors, with numerous cargo ships and tankers dotting the blue horizon.

🌋

Jeju Northern Coast

Dramatic views of the volcanic cliffs and the turquoise waters surrounding Jeju International Airport during the final approach.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The transition from the Chinese mainland to the Zhoushan islands occurs roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight. If flying in the afternoon, the sun will be on the right side, providing excellent, glare-free lighting for photography on the left.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Xiang River

Clear views of the river's southern stretches and the lush green outskirts of Hunan province.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Range

Distal views of the jagged peaks and misty valleys of the Fujian-Zhejiang border region.

🏖️

Wenzhou Coastal Area

The rugged coastline of southern Zhejiang province before heading out over the open ocean.

🏔️

Mount Hallasan

South Korea's highest peak, the central shield volcano of Jeju, visible if the flight path approaches from the south.

The right side is excellent for seeing the central peak of Jeju Island, Mount Hallasan, if the pilot takes a southern approach. Be aware that during afternoon flights, the sun will be directly hitting this side of the aircraft, which may require closing the window shade to reduce glare and heat.
