SHE → CJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft typically offers a superior perspective of the Liaodong Peninsula's rugged coastline and the iconic volcanic landscapes of Jeju, including Mount Hallasan.
Liaodong Peninsula
Clear views of the mountainous spine of the peninsula stretching down toward the Yellow Sea.
Dalian Port
Visible maritime activity and the industrial coastline near one of China's most important northern ports.
Bohai-Yellow Sea Merge
The vast expanse where the Bohai Sea meets the Yellow Sea, often dotted with cargo vessels.
Mount Hallasan
The majestic central shield volcano of Jeju Island, visible as the aircraft descends toward the north coast.
Jeju City
A low-altitude view of the colorful rooftops and coastal roads of Jeju City during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides the best opportunity to see the height of Mount Hallasan. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the volcanic craters (oreums) scattered across the island's landscape during landing.
Shenyang Skyline
Aerial view of the Hun River and the dense urban architecture of Shenyang shortly after takeoff.
Liaoning Plains
Extensive agricultural patterns and rural settlements across the fertile southern Liaoning province.
Korean West Coast
Hazy, distant views of the jagged inlets and islands along the western coast of the Korean Peninsula.
Udo and Seongsan
Glimpses of the eastern tip of Jeju, including the famous Seongsan Ilchulbong tuff cone during the pattern.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Yellow Sea. This side is also better if the aircraft approaches Jeju from the east, providing a view of the famous 'Sunrise Peak'. Watch for the transition from the Chinese mainland to the open sea about 20 minutes into the flight.
