Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Incheon bridge during takeoff and the stunning coastal geography of the Liaodong Peninsula, including the major port city of Dalian.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌉

Incheon Bridge

An incredible aerial view of the longest cable-stayed bridge in Korea right after takeoff from ICN.

🌊

Yellow Sea Crossing

Clear views of the sparkling West Sea and numerous small islands off the Korean coast.

🏙️

Dalian Skyline

Panoramic views of the Dalian coastline and its busy maritime ports as you enter Chinese airspace.

🛶

Liaodong Gulf

The curved coastline of the Bohai Sea, often featuring massive wind farms and industrial shipping lanes.

🌾

Songliao Plain

The vast, geometric agricultural patterns of the Northeast China Plain as you descend into Changchun.

Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the Liaodong coastline. Early morning flights offer beautiful soft light over the Yellow Sea islands. Keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up for the bridge.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Songdo International City

A high-altitude view of the futuristic Songdo skyline and Central Park during the initial climb.

⛰️

Qianshan Mountains

The rugged, pine-covered peaks of the Thousand Mountains near Anshan are visible in the distance.

🏙️

Shenyang Periphery

On clear days, the sprawling urban layout of Shenyang, the largest city in Northeast China, appears to the east.

🚜

Jilin Farmlands

Extensive corn and soybean fields that change color dramatically from lush green in summer to golden in autumn.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Korean Peninsula. While the landmarks are slightly further away than the left side, the mountain visibility is better during the winter months when the air is crisp and clear.
