Lake Khanka
The massive transboundary lake shared between Russia and China, visible in the distance.
Manchurian Borderlands
Dense taiga and rolling hills near the intersection of the Russian and Chinese borders.
Seoul Metropolitan Area
A breathtaking view of the dense urban landscape and the Han River during the approach.
Incheon Bridge
A spectacular view of one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges just before touchdown.
Yellow Sea Archipelagos
Small islands and tidal flats scattered along the west coast of the Korean Peninsula.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent into ICN; the view of the Seoul skyline and Incheon's massive infrastructure is world-class. On clear days, look north early in the flight to spot the vastness of Lake Khanka. Late afternoon flights provide a beautiful sunset over the Yellow Sea.
