Which side of the plane to sit from Hiroshima Airport (Hiroshima) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the rugged mountain ranges of both Japan and Korea, plus the dramatic approach into the Liaodong Peninsula.

Chugoku Range
The forested peaks of the Chugoku mountains stretching across western Honshu.
San'in Coast
Beautiful views of the rugged coastline along the Sea of Japan shortly after departure.
Korean Peninsula Spine
Deep valleys and steep ridges as the flight traverses the mountainous interior of Korea.
Dalian Port Area
The massive industrial and shipping infrastructure of Dalian during the final descent.
The right side is the prime choice for seeing the dramatic contrast between the Sea of Japan and the Korean mountains. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of Korea are particularly breathtaking. As the plane descends into Dalian, this side often provides a clearer view of the city's urban layout.
Book Hotels in Dalian
Seto Inland Sea
A stunning mosaic of islands and bridges visible immediately after takeoff from Hiroshima.
Busan Seaport
Aerial views of South Korea's largest port city and its distinctive coastal skyscrapers.
Tsushima Island
The mountainous terrain of this historic island sitting between the Japanese and Korean mainland.
Yellow Sea
The vast maritime expanse where the East China Sea meets the northern waters of the Pacific.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for spotting the dense urban architecture of the southern Korean coast. Keep an eye out for Jeju Island far to the south if the sky is exceptionally clear.
