KULFNJ

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning sequence of geographic transitions, from the lush Malay Peninsula and the rugged Annamite Mountains in Vietnam to the massive industrial and urban sprawls of Southern China and the Bohai Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🇲🇾

Titiwangsa Range

Dense tropical rainforests and mountain ridges of the Malay Peninsula visible shortly after takeoff from KUL.

⛰️

Annamite Range

The dramatic, jagged peaks along the border of Vietnam and Laos, often shrouded in misty clouds.

🏙️

Pearl River Delta

The sprawling urban landscapes of Guangzhou and Foshan, showcasing one of the world's largest megalopolises.

🌊

Bohai Bay

The massive maritime gateway and industrial ports of Northern China, often dotted with heavy cargo ship traffic.

🌾

Pyongan Plains

The agricultural heartland of North Korea, featuring unique collective farming patterns and rolling hills.

On morning flights, the left side avoids the harshest glare, allowing for clearer photos of the Vietnamese coastline and Chinese megacities. During winter, look for the stark contrast between the frozen Bohai Bay and the North Korean landscape.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏝️

South China Sea

Expansive views of turquoise waters and occasional coral atolls during the first half of the journey.

🌋

Hainan Island

The tropical interior mountains and white-sand beaches of Sanya visible if the flight path tracks slightly east.

🛥️

Yellow Sea

A vast blue expanse that glows beautifully during late afternoon flights, often filled with fishing fleets.

⚓

West Sea Barrage

An enormous 8km long dam near Nampo that separates the Taedong River from the Yellow Sea.

🏛️

Pyongyang Suburbs

Views of the Ryugyong Hotel and the North Korean capital's unique skyline on the final approach into Sunan.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Yellow Sea. Keep your camera ready as you cross the North Korean coastline near Nampo to see the massive West Sea Barrage engineering feat.
