Which side of the plane to sit from Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views, including the sacred Putuoshan island shortly after takeoff and a spectacular profile of Mount Hallasan upon the approach to Jeju Island.
Putuoshan Island
Look for the famous Buddhist mountain island, home to the Guanyin statue, visible shortly after clearing the Ningbo coast.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A dense cluster of green islands scattered across the blue waters of the East China Sea.
Mount Hallasan
South Korea's highest peak and the central shield volcano of Jeju Island, dominating the island's landscape.
Volcanic Oreums
Dozens of small, parasitic volcanic cones (oreums) dotting the landscape as you descend toward the airport.
Jeju Southern Coastline
Depending on the flight path, you may see the rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of the island's southern reaches.
The right side is the prime choice for nature lovers. Ensure you are looking out about 15 minutes before landing to see the majestic Mount Hallasan. For afternoon flights, the right side is ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the volcanic landscape.
Ningbo Cityscape
Aerial view of the Ningbo urban sprawl and the Yong River winding through the city immediately after departure.
Zhoushan Trans-oceanic Bridges
On a clear day, the massive bridge system connecting the Zhoushan archipelago to the mainland is visible to the north.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
View of the world's busiest port by cargo tonnage, featuring massive container terminals and hundreds of cargo ships.
East China Sea Transition
Watch the water change from the silty brown of the Yangtze/Qiantang estuary to the deep blue of the open sea.
Jeju City Approach
As the plane banks for landing, the left side typically offers a close-up view of Jeju City and the northern coastline.
Choose the left side if you are interested in the industrial and maritime scale of the Ningbo-Zhoushan port region. For landing, this side is usually better for viewing the urban layout of Jeju City. Morning flights are preferred on this side to keep the sun behind you.
