Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin)?

The right side offers a superior view of the massive inland lakes of central China and a more dramatic panoramic perspective of the limestone karst formations during the descent into Guilin.
Search flights from ICN to KWL
Yangtze River Delta
The vast industrial and urban sprawl of the Shanghai region, often visible in the distance as the flight turns inland.
Poyang Lake
A view of China's largest freshwater lake, which changes shape dramatically depending on the seasonal monsoon rains.
Hunan Highlands
The rugged, misty mountain ranges of Hunan province, which served as inspiration for classical Chinese ink paintings.
Guilin Karst Peaks
The iconic, surreal 'gumdrop' limestone mountains that appear in clusters as the aircraft descends into the valley.
The right side is ideal for capturing the unique 'Forest of Peaks' topography of Guilin during the final 20 minutes of flight. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic on this side as the sun highlights the textures of the limestone mountains. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the ground patterns.

Incheon Bridge
Visible immediately after takeoff, providing a scale of the massive infrastructure connecting Seoul to the airport island.
Zhejiang Coastline
The point of entry into mainland China, featuring the rugged coast and numerous small islands of the East China Sea.
Wuyi Mountains
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its deep green tea plantations and dramatic, craggy cliff faces.
Guangxi Lowlands
Lush agricultural basins and winding rivers that lead the way into the heart of southern China.
Sit on the left if you want to see the Incheon Bridge early in the flight. For the arrival in Guilin, if the plane lands toward the North, the left side provides a close-up of the winding Li River just before touching down.
