Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the diverse landscapes of the East Asian coastline, featuring the rugged Korean islands, the bustling Chinese industrial ports, and the dramatic approach into the Pearl River Delta.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🇰🇷

South Korean Archipelago

The intricate network of islands off the coast of Jeollanam-do visible immediately after takeoff from Muan.

🏙️

Zhejiang Coastline

Views of the industrial powerhouses and mountainous coastal regions of Ningbo and Wenzhou along the mainland coast.

🏝️

Xiamen & Kinmen

The striking proximity of Xiamen city and the historic Kinmen islands near the Fujian province coast.

🌉

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

A spectacular view of one of the world's longest sea-crossing bridges during the final descent into Macau.

🏗️

Macau Skyline

Panoramic views of Cotai Strip's massive resorts and the historic Macau Peninsula as you touch down.

Sit on the left for a sunset flight to enjoy the golden hour glow reflecting off the Chinese coastal cities. Keep an eye out for the Pearl River Delta's massive shipping traffic during the final 30 minutes of the flight. Clear skies are more common in autumn, offering the best visibility of the mainland.

Right Side Highlights
5.2
🌊

East China Sea

Vast stretches of azure waters punctuated by occasional cargo ships and international fishing fleets.

🌋

Jeju Island Silhouette

On clear days, the distant silhouette of Hallasan mountain can be seen to the south shortly after departure.

⛰️

Taiwan Strait

The wide maritime corridor between the mainland and Taiwan, offering views of deep blue oceanic currents.

🚢

South China Sea Traffic

Frequent sightings of large container vessels navigating the busy international shipping lanes toward the south.

Choose the right side if you prefer a glare-free view during afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft or on the left. This side is typically quieter visually, focusing on the horizon and oceanic weather patterns. High-altitude cloud formations are often spectacular over the strait.
