PEK → MWX
Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Muan International Airport (Muan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Shandong Peninsula's northern coastline and the breathtaking island archipelagos of South Korea's southwest coast during the final approach.
Eastern Beijing
Expansive views of the rapidly developing sub-center of Tongzhou and the canal systems of eastern Beijing.
Shandong Coastline
Clear views of the northern beaches and urban centers of Yantai and Weihai during the mid-flight transit.
Saemangeum Seawall
The world's longest man-made dyke, a massive engineering marvel visible along the Korean west coast.
Mokpo Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of small, green islands in the Dadohaehaesang National Park during descent.
Jeolla Farmlands
Geometric patterns of rice paddies and salt farms that characterize the Muan landscape just before touchdown.
Choose the right side for the approach into MWX; the view of the island-studded coastline is spectacular. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing the perfect lighting for photography of the Korean archipelago.
Tianjin Port
Bird's eye view of one of the world's busiest container ports and the urban industrial sprawl of northern China.
Liaodong Peninsula
Distant views of the rugged southern tip of Dalian as the flight crosses the Bohai Strait.
Yellow Sea Crossing
Vast expanses of deep blue water frequently dotted with international cargo ships moving toward Incheon.
Byeonsanbando National Park
Dramatic coastal cliffs and mountainous terrain as the aircraft enters South Korean airspace near Buan.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction when viewing the Tianjin coastline. This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun while crossing the Yellow Sea.
