KIX → SHE
Which side of the plane to sit from Kansai International Airport (Osaka) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the picturesque Seto Inland Sea islands during departure and a scenic approach along the Hun River into Shenyang.
Osaka Bay
Vibrant turquoise waters and artificial islands visible immediately after takeoff from KIX.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
The world's second-longest suspension bridge is clearly visible connecting Awaji Island to the mainland.
Seto Inland Sea
A stunning panorama of hundreds of small, forested islands scattered across the water.
Liaoning Coastline
The rugged northern coast of the Yellow Sea as the flight enters Chinese airspace.
Hun River
A wide, winding river that serves as a primary landmark during the final descent into Shenyang.
Book an afternoon flight to catch the sun reflecting off the Seto Inland Sea. Ensure you are seated ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge during the first 10 minutes of flight.
Osaka Skyline
A dense urban view of Osaka, Kobe, and the surrounding Kansai metropolis.
Chugoku Mountains
The mountainous spine of western Japan, often snow-capped during the winter months.
Taebaek Mountains
High-altitude views of the rugged mountain ranges crossing the Korean Peninsula.
Shenyang CBD
The modern skyline and skyscrapers of downtown Shenyang during the arrival phase.
Tiexi District
View of the historic and revitalized industrial landscape that defines Shenyang's heritage.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the mid-flight segment, look for the Oki Islands in the Sea of Japan. Winter flights offer spectacular views of the frozen landscapes in North-Eastern China.
