Incheon Bridge
A stunning view of Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge stretching across the sea shortly after takeoff.
Yalu River Border
The visible boundary between Dandong, China, and Sinuiju, North Korea, marked by the winding river.
Changbai Mountain Range
The breathtaking volcanic peaks and, on clear days, the distant silhouette of the Heaven Lake (Tianchi) caldera.
Yanbian Forests
Dense, lush temperate forests that cover the rolling hills as you descend into the Yanji basin.
Yanji City Arrival
A great view of the vibrant capital of the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture just before landing.
The highlight of this route is Changbai Mountain. Sit on the right side and look north/northeast during the final 30 minutes of the flight. For the best visibility of the mountain snow, travel between November and May. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the border region.
