HRB → CJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer diverse landscapes, the right side provides a superior approach to Jeju Island, featuring the iconic Hallasan Mountain and the rugged Liaodong Peninsula coastline during the descent from mainland China.

Shenyang Urban Sprawl
View the massive industrial and residential layout of Shenyang as the plane traverses the Liaoning corridor.
Dalian & Bohai Sea
Spectacular views of the Liaodong Peninsula tip and the busy maritime traffic entering the Bohai Sea.
Hallasan Volcano
The centerpiece of Jeju Island, Hallasan's massive shield volcano profile is best viewed from the right side during descent.
Jeju Western Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and black basalt cliffs of Aewol and the western beaches just before touchdown.
The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Yellow Sea. The highlight is the approach to Jeju; ensure your window is clear about 20 minutes before landing to catch the full scale of Hallasan Mountain. In winter, the snow-capped peak of the volcano is a must-see landmark.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the distant mountainous border between China and North Korea. Keep an eye out for the Songhua River's complex patterns near Harbin.
