TXN → ICN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Yangtze River delta, the industrial coastline of eastern China, and the modern skyline of Songdo during the approach to Incheon.
Yangtze River
A spectacular crossing of Asia's longest river near the Nanjing-Shanghai corridor.
Jiangsu Coastline
Busy port activities and coastal developments of the Lianyungang region as you leave the mainland.
Songdo Skyline
The futuristic smart city of Songdo with its unique skyscrapers and central park near the airport.
Incheon Port
View the large cargo ships and the industrial heart of Korea's western gateway before touchdown.
The right side is best for catching the glimmering reflection of the Yellow Sea and the impressive urban development of Songdo. Choose an early morning flight for soft light over the water, and keep your camera ready for the Yangtze River crossing about 20 minutes after takeoff.
Huangshan Massif
Distant views of the granite peaks of the Yellow Mountains shortly after takeoff from TXN.
Anhui Plains
Vast agricultural landscapes and traditional villages in the heart of Anhui province.
Yellow Sea Expanse
Endless blue waters as the plane crosses the maritime boundary from China to the Korean Peninsula.
Incheon Bridge
One of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges visible during the final approach patterns.
Sit on the left for early views of the Huangshan mountains and to avoid direct afternoon sun on northbound flights. During the final descent, look for the intricate island geography of Ganghwa-do if the plane approaches from the north.
