PUSHAN

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side typically offers more frequent land views, including the rugged southern coast of Korea, the sprawling urban centers of coastal China, the Pearl River Delta, and the mountainous terrain of Northern Vietnam during descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🇰🇷

Dadohaehaesang Archipelago

Breathtaking views of South Korea's thousands of small, rugged islands immediately after takeoff from Busan.

🏙️

Chinese Coastal Cities

Aerial perspectives of major urban centers like Xiamen and Shantou along the southeastern Chinese seaboard.

🌉

Pearl River Delta

Distances views of the massive urban sprawl and infrastructure connecting Hong Kong, Macau, and Shenzhen.

⛰️

Leizhou Peninsula

The distinct geographical finger of land that marks the southernmost point of mainland China.

⛰️

Northern Vietnam Mountains

Lush, forested mountain ridges that rise up as the aircraft begins its final descent into the Hanoi region.

The right side is superior for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Pearl River Delta and the mountainous approach into Noi Bai International Airport.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏝️

Jeju Island

Clear views of Hallasan mountain and the volcanic coastline shortly after leaving Korean airspace.

🌊

East China Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue sea, often dotted with massive cargo ships on international shipping lanes.

🏖️

Hainan Island

The tropical eastern coast of China's largest island province, featuring white sandy beaches and resorts.

🛶

Gulf of Tonkin

A vast maritime area where hundreds of fishing boats are often visible, particularly at night as bright lights.

🌾

Red River Delta

The intricate, emerald-green patchwork of rice paddies and winding rivers as the flight approaches Hanoi.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting Jeju Island early in the trip and the unique 'sea of lights' from fishing fleets if flying at night.
