Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Taiyuan Wusu Airport (Taiyuan)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer views of the Yellow Sea, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Taihang Mountain range and the meanders of the Yellow River during the approach to Taiyuan.

Nakdong River Valley
Views of Korea's longest river winding through the mountainous Gyeongsang region.
Bohai Sea Rim
The industrial northern coastline of the Shandong Peninsula, featuring massive ports and shipping lanes.
The Yellow River
The iconic, sediment-rich 'Huang He' snaking through the landscape before the final descent.
Taihang Mountains
Dramatic cliffs and deep canyons that form the natural boundary between the plains and the Shanxi highlands.
Taiyuan Basin
A panoramic view of the Fen River valley and the expanding urban sprawl of Taiyuan during final approach.
The right side is ideal for capturing the geographic drama of North China. Watch for the Yellow River's distinctive color—it is a major landmark. The descent into Taiyuan Wusu is particularly scenic on this side as the aircraft maneuvers through the gaps in the Taihang mountains. For the clearest views of the Chinese mainland, early morning flights are recommended to avoid mid-day haze.

Southern Taihang Range
Rugged ridges and the beginning of the Loess Plateau topography as you approach Shanxi province.
Sit on the left for a beautiful view of the Busan coastline during departure. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will experience direct sunlight over the Yellow Sea, so keep your window shade ready. During the descent into Taiyuan, look for the abrupt transition from the plains to the mountainous terrain of the Loess Plateau.
