TXN → PUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan) to Gimhae International Airport (Busan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the South Korean archipelago and the dramatic coastal entry into Busan, along with distant views of the Shanghai region.
Shanghai Megalopolis
Distant views of the sprawling Shanghai urban area and the busy Hangzhou Bay.
East China Sea Shipping
Observation of one of the world's busiest maritime corridors with numerous cargo vessels.
Dadohaehaesang
The stunning 'Sea of Many Islands' National Park featuring thousands of small Korean islets.
Busan Harbor
Bird's-eye view of the massive container terminals and the Gwangan Bridge on final approach.
Geumjeongsan Mountain
The rugged mountain ridges that define the northern backdrop of Busan city.
The right side is essential for the scenic approach into PUS, where you see the jagged coastline of Korea. Morning flights are best for this side to capture the light hitting the islands. Watch for the massive shipyards near Geoje Island just before landing.
Huangshan Massif
Aerial perspective of the iconic 'Yellow Mountain' granite peaks shortly after takeoff.
Yangtze River Crossing
View of the massive Yangtze River as the flight heads northeast toward the coast.
Nanjing Suburbs
The dense urban development and industrial hubs of southern Jiangsu province.
Jiangsu Wetlands
The intricate network of canals and agricultural plains before hitting the Yellow Sea.
Nakdong River Valley
The winding path of South Korea's longest river as the plane descends into Busan.
Sit on the left for better views of the Yangtze River delta and the inland mountain ranges of Korea like Jirisan. This side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare during the cross-sea segment.
