Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Yangtze River crossing and the famous Lushan mountain range upon the approach to Nanchang.
Incheon Archipelago
Aerial perspective of the numerous small islands dotting the coast of the Gyeonggi Bay.
Shandong Peninsula
Distant views of the rugged coastline of Qingdao and the bustling shipping lanes of the Yellow Sea.
Yangtze River Crossing
A dramatic view of the 'Golden Waterway' as the plane flies south, often revealing massive cargo ships.
Lushan National Park
The majestic peaks of Mount Lu, a UNESCO World Heritage site, often surrounded by a sea of clouds near Nanchang.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Look out for the massive bends of the Yangtze River approximately 30-40 minutes before landing. Lushan is best spotted during the descent; it is often shrouded in mist, which creates a classic Chinese ink-painting aesthetic.
Incheon Grand Bridge
A stunning view of Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge immediately after takeoff from ICN.
Yellow Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the maritime traffic lanes between the Korean Peninsula and the Chinese mainland.
Suzhou-Wuxi Corridor
Glimpses of the dense urban development and intricate canal networks of southern Jiangsu province.
Poyang Lake
The eastern shores of China's largest freshwater lake, visible during the final descent into Nanchang.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Incheon Grand Bridge during a westbound departure. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to avoid glare. In winter, you can often see the distinct water levels of Poyang Lake.
