HANPUS

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the East China Sea islands, the iconic volcanic landscape of Jeju Island, and the dramatic coastal approach into Busan's Gwangalli and Haeundae districts.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Hainan Island

Early flight segments often provide views of the tropical northern coastline of Hainan.

🌋

Hallasan Volcano

On clear days, the majestic shield volcano of Jeju Island is clearly visible to the east.

🌉

Gwangan Bridge

A stunning view of Busan's landmark 'Diamond Bridge' stretching across the bay during final approach.

🏖️

Haeundae Beach

The high-rise skyscrapers of Marine City and the golden sands of Korea's most famous beach.

🇯🇵

Tsushima Island

Just before landing, you can often spot the Japanese territory of Tsushima in the distance.

The right side is essential for the Busan 'Circle-to-Land' approach into Runway 36R, which offers breathtaking views of the city's unique geography. Morning flights are best to catch the sunrise over the Pacific horizon.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌃

Mainland China Coastline

Bird's-eye view of the dense urban lights of Xiamen and Fuzhou when flying at night.

🌊

Yangtze River Estuary

Witness the massive sediment plumes where the Yangtze River meets the East China Sea.

⛰️

Geoje Island

Dramatic views of the rugged, mountainous terrain of South Korea's second-largest island upon descent.

🚢

East China Sea Shipping

Dozens of cargo ships and tankers dotting the sea lanes near the world's busiest ports.

Sit on the left for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare and to see the sparkling lights of the Chinese megacities. During winter, look for snow-capped mountains as you enter South Korean airspace.
