Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior vantage point for spotting the volcanic landscape of Jeju Island and the intricate coastline of the Korean Peninsula before descending over the winding Songhua River into Harbin.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌋

Jeju Island & Hallasan

A major highlight where the iconic volcanic shield of Hallasan is often visible rising above the East China Sea.

⚓

Incheon Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the numerous small islands and massive bridges connecting the South Korean coast near Seoul.

🏔️

Korean Taebaek Range

Distant but clear views of the rugged, snow-capped mountains of the Korean Peninsula during winter months.

🧊

Songhua River Meanders

The dramatic winding path of the Songhua River as it approaches Harbin, which appears as a frozen silver ribbon in winter.

The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the best views of Jeju Island. In winter, the frozen wetlands of Heilongjiang provide exceptional patterns for photography during descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Northwest Taiwan Coastline

Detailed views of the Tamsui River mouth and the industrial ports of Taoyuan immediately after takeoff.

🚢

Yellow Sea Shipping Lanes

High-altitude views of one of the world's busiest maritime corridors with numerous container ships visible.

🏙️

Shandong Peninsula

Clear views of the rugged coastline around Qingdao and the sprawling urban developments of eastern China.

🌾

Liaoning Agricultural Plains

A vast geometric patchwork of farmland that defines the landscape of Northeast China during the mid-flight phase.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Yellow Sea. During winter, look for the unique texture of sea ice forming along the northern Bohai Gulf coastlines.
