Nakdong River Valley
View of South Korea's longest river winding through the Gyeongsang landscape shortly after takeoff.
Dadohaehaesang Archipelago
A stunning tapestry of thousands of small islands and jagged coastlines near Yeosu and Goheung.
Jeju Island Horizon
On clear days, the silhouette of Hallasan volcano is visible far to the south across the Korea Strait.
Zhoushan Archipelago
As you approach China, observe one of the world's largest island clusters and busy shipping lanes.
Hangzhou Bay
Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the massive bridge infrastructure connecting the coastal cities.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind the plane, which reduces glare and improves photo quality. The best coastal views of Korea occur 15-20 minutes after departure from TAE. Keep a lookout for the distinct green-to-blue water color change as you move from the Korean coast into the deeper sea.

Honam Plains
The flat, fertile agricultural heartland of southwest Korea visible before reaching the West Sea.
Mokpo Harbors
The complex industrial and ferry ports at the southwestern tip of the Korean peninsula.
Yangtze River Delta
The immense scale of the Yangtze River meeting the East China Sea, marked by vast sediment plumes.
Pudong Skyline
If the flight approaches PVG from the north, you may catch a distant view of the Shanghai Tower and Lujiazui.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Yellow Sea. Look for the 'Yellow' tint in the water near the Chinese coast, caused by sediment from the Yangtze River. If the flight path takes a northern loop into PVG, this side provides the best chance to see the sprawling urban density of Shanghai.
