Which side of the plane to sit from Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic Korean archipelago and a direct view of Dalian's impressive skyline and harbor during the final descent.
Fukuoka Cityscape
Immediate views of Ohori Park, Fukuoka Tower, and the central business district right after takeoff from FUK.
Tsushima Island
A clear view of this rugged, forested island sitting strategically between Japan and the Korean Peninsula.
Dadohaehaesang Archipelago
Breathtaking views of thousands of small, green islands dotting the southern coast of South Korea.
Dalian Port
One of the world's busiest cargo hubs, featuring massive container ships and extensive docks.
Dalian Urban Core
Stunning views of Zhongshan Square and the city's unique mix of colonial and modern architecture.
Sit on the left for the most diverse views. If flying in the late afternoon, you will experience a magnificent sunset over the Yellow Sea. During the approach to DLC, the plane often banks, providing a perfect frame of the Dalian skyline. Be sure to look for the Gwangandaegyo Bridge if the flight path skims the Busan coast.
Genkai Sea
The deep blue expanse of the sea separating Kyushu from the Asian mainland.
Korean Interior
Distances views of the Sobaek and Taebaek mountain ranges during the mid-flight cruise.
Golden Pebble Beach
The scenic Jinshitan coastal area north of Dalian, known for its unique rock formations and resorts.
Dalian Economic Zone
The sprawling industrial and technological landscape of the northern Liaodong Peninsula.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a more 'geological' view, focusing on the mountain ridges of the Korean Peninsula and the northern coastal development of Dalian. This side is typically quieter for photography due to more consistent lighting throughout the short flight.
