Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Yangtze River's path, the expansive Lake Tai, and a more direct view of the jagged granite peaks of the Huangshan range during the final descent.
Yellow Sea Archipelago
Clear views of the numerous small, rocky islands scattered off the southwestern coast of the Korean Peninsula.
Lake Tai (Taihu)
A massive freshwater lake near Wuxi, famous for its limestone formations and intense green water.
Yangtze River Traffic
Watch the heavy industrial shipping traffic moving along one of the world's busiest inland waterways.
Huangshan Peaks
The legendary 'Yellow Mountains' come into view, showcasing dramatic granite pillars and ancient pine forests.
Tea Plantations
Lush green terraces of the famous Huangshan Maofeng tea covering the rolling hills of southern Anhui.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun begins to set, casting long shadows that accentuate the dramatic topography of the Huangshan mountains. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Chinese coastline for the best shots of Lake Tai.
Incheon Bridge
A stunning view of the 21km cable-stayed bridge connecting Yeongjong Island to the mainland shortly after takeoff.
Shanghai Periphery
Panoramic views of the massive urban sprawl of the Yangtze Delta and distant glimpses of the Shanghai skyline.
Yangtze River Estuary
Observe the distinct color change where the sediment-heavy Yangtze River meets the blue waters of the East China Sea.
Xin'an River
A winding, picturesque river that flows through the heart of the Huizhou region toward the end of the flight.
Anhui Villages
Bird's-eye view of traditional Huizhou-style architecture with iconic white walls and grey tiled roofs.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is better for spotting the dense network of canals near Suzhou and the southern reaches of the Yangtze Delta.
