Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning perspective of the South Korean coastline during departure and provides the best view of the winding Yangtze River and the vast lake systems of central China during the descent into Wuhan.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Nakdong River Delta

Immediately after takeoff from PUS, look down to see the intricate river channels and industrial landscapes of Busan's western edge.

🏝️

Dadohaehaesang Islands

The flight path often skirts the southern coast, offering views of the thousands of small islands making up the South Sea archipelago.

⛴️

Yangtze River Delta

As the plane enters Chinese airspace near Shanghai, the massive mouth of the Yangtze River and its heavy maritime traffic are visible.

💧

Poyang Lake Basin

Further inland, the landscape is dominated by China's largest freshwater lake and the lush wetlands of the Gan River delta.

🏙️

Southern Wuhan Skyline

During the final approach, the left side typically faces the dense urban sprawl and the iconic bridges crossing the Yangtze in central Wuhan.

For afternoon flights, the left side will be facing south, meaning you will experience significant glare from the sun. However, this is the better side for sunset flights as the light reflects beautifully off the Yangtze River. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the river's unique oxbow bends.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Gyeongsang Mountains

View the rugged interior mountain ranges of southeastern Korea shortly after departure.

🌅

Yellow Sea Crossing

A vast expanse of sea where you can often spot large cargo ships traveling between Korean and Chinese ports.

🏔️

Dabie Mountains

A major mountain range in central China that serves as a geographic divide between the Huai and Yangtze river basins.

🛶

Chaohu Lake

One of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, located in Anhui Province, visible mid-way through the inland leg.

✈️

Wuhan Northern Suburbs

Offers a view of the rapid urban development and industrial parks north of the Tianhe International Airport.

The right side is ideal for daytime flights to avoid direct sunlight and harsh shadows. It offers the best view of the Dabie Mountains, which are particularly scenic in winter when capped with snow. Keep an eye out about 40 minutes before landing for the most dramatic mountain terrain.
