Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides superior views of the intricate South Korean coastline, the island-dotted Yellow Sea, and the dramatic approach over the Dalian coastline into the Liaoning plains.
Nakdong River Delta
Breathtaking views of the vast river mouth and eco-parks immediately after departing Gimhae.
Yellow Sea Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of small islands along the southwestern coast of South Korea.
Dalian Waterfront
Clear views of the massive port facilities and urban skyline of the Dalian peninsula upon entering Chinese airspace.
Bohai Bay
Expansive views of the inner sea, often shimmering with reflected sunlight during afternoon flights.
Liaohe River Plain
The transition into the flat, fertile agricultural heartland of Northeast China during the final descent.
On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which is perfect for sunset photography but may require a shade early on. This side offers the best perspective of the Dalian Cross-sea Bridge if the flight path hugs the coast.
Sobaek Mountain Range
The rugged, forested interior mountains that form the backbone of the Korean Peninsula.
Inland Cityscapes
Potential views of major Korean hubs like Daegu or Daejeon depending on the specific air corridor.
North Korean Horizon
A distant glimpse of the North Korean coastline (Hwanghae Province) while flying over the Yellow Sea.
Qianshan Mountains
The 'Thousand Lotus Flower Mountains' of Liaoning, known for their sharp peaks and historic temples.
Shenyang City Center
The dense skyline and industrial clusters of Shenyang as the plane maneuvers for landing at Taoxian.
Ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Korean mountains and the Liaoning landscape without glare. Look for the distinct change from the mountainous Korean terrain to the industrial expanses of Shenyang.
