Uminonakamichi Sandbar
A unique geographic formation separating Hakata Bay from the Genkai Sea immediately after takeoff.
Tsushima Island
Aerial view of the heavily forested and mountainous island located midway between Japan and Korea.
Korean Archipelago
Stunning views of the Dadohaehaesang National Park featuring thousands of small, jagged islands off South Korea.
Qingdao Urban Core
Clear views of the red-roofed German colonial architecture contrasted with modern skyscrapers like the Haitian Center.
Mount Lao
The majestic granite peaks of Laoshan, the highest coastal mountain in China, visible during the final approach.
Sit on the right to avoid direct solar glare when traveling west during the day. This side is significantly more scenic as the flight path typically skims the southern edge of the Korean Peninsula, providing constant land-based visual interest compared to the open sea on the left.
