Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic karst limestone peaks upon the descent into Guilin, coupled with excellent coastal views of South Korea's rugged southern islands and China's major shipping ports.
Nakdong River Delta
Aerial view of the intricate wetlands and Busan's western coastal developments immediately after departure from PUS.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A massive cluster of islands near Ningbo that serves as one of the world's busiest maritime shipping hubs.
Wuyi Mountains
The UNESCO-listed mountain range known for its dramatic cliffs and ancient tea plantations in northern Fujian.
Guilin Karst Formations
The world-famous limestone pinnacles and the Li River valley as the plane descends into Guilin.
The right side is essential for viewing the 'Karst Forest' during the final 20 minutes of flight. To capture the best colors of the Wuyi mountains, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western faces of the peaks. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent starts for the best angle of the limestone hills.
Dadohaehaesang National Park
A stunning panoramic view of South Korea's southwestern 'thousand islands' region shortly after takeoff.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world, stretching across the East China Sea.
Poyang Lake
The largest freshwater lake in China, featuring vast wetlands and complex seasonal water patterns in Jiangxi Province.
Changsha Skyline
The dense urban sprawl of Hunan's capital city, often visible as the flight tracks westward.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while crossing the East China Sea. Look for the massive industrial clusters as you enter mainland Chinese airspace near Ningbo.
