Gadeokdo and Geoje
Immediately after takeoff, witness the rugged coastline and the impressive bridge connecting Busan to Geoje Island.
Tsushima Island
On clear days, the mountainous terrain of Japan's Tsushima Island is visible across the Korea Strait.
Jeju Southern Coast
A stunning perspective of the volcanic cliffs and emerald waters of Jeju Island's southern shoreline.
East China Sea Islands
As you approach China, look for the Shengsi Archipelago, a cluster of hundreds of small islands.
Donghai Bridge
A massive 32.5-kilometer sea-crossing bridge connecting the mainland to the Yangshan Deep-Water Port.
For the best visibility of the Korean islands, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. This side is superior for seeing the coastal geography of Jeju without the glare of the southern sun during midday flights.

Busan Cityscape
A great view of Busan's dense urban landscape and the Nakdong River delta during the initial climb.
Hallasan Mountain
Look south to see the towering peak of South Korea's highest mountain located in the center of Jeju Island.
Yangtze River Delta
Observe the dramatic change in water color where the sediment-heavy Yangtze River meets the ocean.
Yangshan Port
The world's busiest container port, featuring massive automated cranes and rows of shipping containers.
Shanghai Skyline
Depending on the landing pattern, you may catch a glimpse of the Lujiazui skyscrapers in the distance.
The right side is excellent for seeing the peak of Hallasan, but be aware of the harsh sun if flying in the afternoon. During the descent into PVG, this side often offers a better view of the industrial scale of the Yangtze delta.
