Which side of the plane to sit from Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Japanese Alps shortly after takeoff and offers a unique perspective of the rugged northern Korean mountain ranges and the Yalu River border.

Japanese Alps
Spectacular views of the 'Roof of Japan,' featuring the high peaks of the Hida and Kiso mountain ranges.
Noto Peninsula
The distinct finger-like landmass jutting into the Sea of Japan is often visible on the horizon to the north.
Hamgyong Mountains
The steep, rugged terrain of the northern Korean Peninsula provides a stark and beautiful landscape.
Yalu River
The winding river border between Dandong, China, and Sinuiju, North Korea, visible during the descent.
The right side is the prime choice for mountain lovers. Within the first 20 minutes, the Japanese Alps provide a majestic backdrop. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the engine against the North Korean highlands. Winter flights offer the most dramatic scenery with heavy snow cover on the mountains.
Book Hotels in ShenyangIse Bay
Aerial view of the Chubu Centrair island airport and the coastline of Mie Prefecture immediately after takeoff.
Lake Biwa
The southern basin of Japan's largest freshwater lake is visible as the flight traverses the Kansai region.
Seoul Metropolitan Area
The vast urban density of South Korea's capital region and the Incheon coastline as the flight crosses the peninsula.
Liaodong Peninsula
The industrial ports and rugged coastline near Dalian as the aircraft turns north toward Shenyang.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. It offers better views of the sprawling urban landscapes of South Korea and the intricate coastal geography of the Yellow Sea. Look out for the distinct geometric patterns of salt pans and aquaculture near the Chinese coast.
