Tianjin Skyline
Excellent views of the urban sprawl of Tianjin and the Haihe River winding through the city shortly after departure.
Shandong Peninsula
Clear views of the mountainous coastline near Yantai and Weihai as the flight crosses the Yellow Sea.
Yellow Sea Shipping Lanes
Observe the dense maritime traffic entering and exiting the Bohai Sea, one of the busiest shipping corridors in East Asia.
Incheon Grand Bridge
A spectacular view of the 21km cable-stayed bridge connecting Songdo to Incheon Airport during the final approach.
Songdo International City
The futuristic skyline of the Incheon Free Economic Zone is often visible during the landing sequence.
The right side is highly recommended for the approach into Incheon (ICN). For the best photography of the Incheon Bridge, choose a seat behind the wing. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Korean coastline, while morning flights may experience some glare over the water.

Tianjin Port Hub
Aerial view of one of the world's largest container ports and the massive industrial infrastructure of the Binhai New Area.
Bohai Gulf
A vast expanse of the shallowest part of the China Seas, often busy with cargo vessels and oil platforms.
Liaodong Peninsula
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Dalian coastline and the southern tip of the peninsula can be spotted to the north.
West Sea Islands
View of the numerous small islands near the maritime border between North and South Korea during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for observing the northern coastline of the Bohai Sea, though features are often distant. Watch for the sharp transition from the industrial plains of Tianjin to the open water shortly after takeoff.
