Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Gimhae International Airport (Busan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Zhoushan Archipelago when leaving China and a magnificent perspective of the Nakdong River delta and the Busan coastline during the descent.
Wuyi Mountain Ranges
Dense forest cover and dramatic peaks along the border of Jiangxi and Fujian provinces during the mid-flight phase.
Zhoushan Archipelago
An incredible view of the cluster of over 1,000 islands as the flight crosses the coastline into the East China Sea.
Tsushima Strait
The deep blue expanse where the East China Sea meets the Sea of Japan, often dotted with cargo ships.
Nakdong River Delta
A stunning view of the river meeting the sea, with Busan's port infrastructure and coastal bridges visible on approach.
The right side is best for morning flights to see the sunrise over the sea. Keep your camera ready as you approach Busan for the best views of the Korean coastline and the unique geography of the Nakdong Delta. Seasonal clarity is best in autumn and winter.
Changsha Urban Sprawl
Panoramic views of the Xiang River and the rapidly expanding urban landscape of Changsha immediately after takeoff.
Anhui Highlands
Aerial perspective of the rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges of eastern China as you transit towards the coast.
Shanghai North Suburbs
Distances views of the vast Yangtze River mouth and the northern industrial fringes of the Shanghai metropolitan area.
Gimhae Plains
Vibrant green agricultural fields and mountainous terrain of the Gyeongsang region just before landing at PUS.
Sit on the left if you want a better view of the inland Korean mountains during the final approach. This side is also better for evening flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun when flying eastward.
