Incheon Archipelago
A stunning bird's-eye view of the mudflats and islands surrounding the airport immediately after takeoff.
Northern Mountain Ranges
Views of the rugged, mountainous terrain of the northern peninsula as the flight tracks northward.
Changchun Cityscape
Clear views of the 'Spring City' of the north, including its unique grid-based urban planning.
Northeast China Plain
The massive agricultural heartland of China, appearing as a patchwork of fields in summer or a white blanket in winter.
Harbin Songhua River
The winding curves of the Songhua River as the plane descends into the 'Ice City'.
Sit on the right for the best morning light without the glare of the sun. This side provides the best perspective of the Northeast China Plain's transformation across seasons—from lush greens in July to stark, snowy landscapes in January. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes for the approach into Harbin.
