Shenyang Urban Core
Aerial views of the sprawling Liaoning provincial capital and its dense cluster of skyscrapers shortly after takeoff.
Hun River
Watch the main waterway of Shenyang as it snakes through the southern districts of the city.
Central Korean Massif
Dense, rolling mountain ranges of the Korean peninsula that turn vibrant green in summer and snow-capped in winter.
Seoul Distant Skyline
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Lotte World Tower and N Seoul Tower can be spotted to the North.
Daecheong Lake
A massive, branch-like artificial lake located just south of Cheongju, offering stunning blue-water scenery during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, providing better visibility of the mountainous Korean interior. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best views of the intricate Daecheong Lake shoreline. In autumn, the mountain colors on this side are spectacular.

Yellow Sea Horizon
A vast maritime view as the flight traverses the waters between the Liaodong Peninsula and South Korea.
West Sea Archipelago
A cluster of numerous small islands and islets dotting the coastline near Incheon and Gyeonggi-do.
Incheon Grand Bridge
One of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges may be visible as you approach the Korean coastline.
Korean Rice Paddies
Intricate, grid-like agricultural patterns that dominate the lowlands near the western coast of Korea.
Pyeongtaek Port
Observe the industrial scale of one of Korea's primary international shipping and automotive logistics hubs.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, as the sun dips below the Yellow Sea horizon. Look for the 'mudflat' effect on the Korean coast during low tide, where the receding water creates artistic patterns in the silt. This side usually offers a clearer view of the coastal industrial developments.
