Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the Shandong Peninsula's southern edge followed by a spectacular descent over the Sinan-gun archipelago, featuring thousands of small islands and the intricate mudflats of southwestern Korea.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ—οΈ

Tianjin Port Infrastructure

Massive scale view of the Port of Tianjin, one of the largest artificial deep-water harbors in the world.

β›΅

Yellow Sea Crossing

Expansive views of the deep blue waters separating the Chinese and Korean peninsulas under clear skies.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Sinan-gun Archipelago

Known as the '1004 Islands', this stunning cluster of islets creates a mosaic pattern in the turquoise sea during the final approach.

🌾

Jeollanam-do Mudflats

Intricate tidal patterns and salt farms along the southwestern coast, recognized for their unique ecological value.

πŸŒ‰

Mokpo Coastal View

The city of Mokpo and the Yeongsan River estuary visible just before touching down at Muan.

The right side is the definitive choice for this route. The approach into Muan is famous for the 'Thousand Islands' view. For the best photography of the Korean archipelago, book a mid-afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western faces of the islands. Winter flights often provide the clearest views due to less haze over the Yellow Sea.

πŸ™οΈ

Tianjin Urban Sprawl

Aerial view of the Haihe River winding through the dense industrial and residential districts of Tianjin shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Bohai Sea Traffic

Dense concentration of cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.

πŸ–οΈ

Yantai North Shore

The northern coastline of the Shandong Peninsula, featuring rugged cliffs and coastal developments near Yantai.

🏝️

West Sea Islands

The first glimpse of South Korean territory via the remote islands scattered across the northern Yellow Sea.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides better views of the northern Shandong coastline if the flight path tracks slightly north of the peninsula. Keep your camera ready for the initial ascent over the industrial heart of Northern China.
