Search flights from NGO to PEK
Japanese Alps
Dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Hida and Kiso ranges shortly after departure from Chubu.
Noto Peninsula
The rugged and scenic coastline of Ishikawa Prefecture as the aircraft leaves the Japanese mainland.
Taebaek Mountains
The forested mountain spine of the eastern Korean Peninsula, particularly striking in winter.
Seoul Metropolitan Area
Wide views of the sprawling South Korean capital and the Han River crossing the city.
Great Wall of China
Potential glimpses of the Ming-era walls winding through the mountains north of Beijing during descent.
For the best experience, select a seat ahead of the wing to view the Japanese Alps clearly. In winter, the snow-covered mountains of Korea and Japan are particularly striking. Keep your camera ready as the plane enters the mountainous region north of Beijing for a chance to see the Great Wall if landing from the north.
Book Hotels in BeijingNagoya & Ise Bay
Aerial views of Japan's fourth-largest city and the industrial ports of Mie immediately after takeoff.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake, visible as the flight crosses Shiga Prefecture heading west.
Incheon Bridge
One of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges connecting the Korean mainland to the airport island.
Tianjin Port
Massive shipping facilities and the developing Binhai New Area visible on the Bohai coast.
Beijing Cityscape
The dense urban sprawl and expansive highway networks of eastern Beijing on final approach.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon departures and better views of Lake Biwa early in the flight. On the approach to Beijing, this side typically faces the city's vast urban expansion and can offer views of the CBD if the flight path allows.
