Which side of the plane to sit from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin) to Gimhae International Airport (Busan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior coastal views of the South Korean archipelago and the iconic Jeju Island, coupled with a dramatic approach into Busan's harbor landscape.
Wuyi Mountains
Views of the UNESCO-listed peaks and lush forests of Fujian province shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Jeju Island
On clear days, the prominent shield volcano of Hallasan is visible rising from the center of the island.
Busan Port
Spectacular views of the Gwangan Bridge and the dense skyscraper clusters of Marine City during the final approach.
Tsushima Strait
The deep blue waters separating Japan and Korea, often dotted with high-speed ferries and fishing vessels.
The right side is essential for seeing Jeju Island. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the dramatic mountain-to-sea transition as you land at Gimhae. Early morning flights provide the best lighting for the Korean coastline.
Nanling Mountains
Early flight views of the rugged mountain ranges separating Guangxi and Hunan provinces.
Hangzhou Bay
Aerial perspective of the massive urban sprawl near the Yangtze River Delta and long sea bridges.
Korean Coastline
Striking views of the dense islands and peninsulas of South Gyeongsang Province during descent.
Opt for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Yangtze Delta. Keep an eye out for the massive container ships entering the East China Sea.
