Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Wenzhou coastline upon departure and a dramatic perspective of Mount Hallasan and the northern Jeju cliffs during the approach.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Wenzhou Urban Landscape

Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl of Wenzhou and the winding Ou River immediately after takeoff.

🌊

East China Sea Transition

Witness the dramatic color change from the silt-heavy coastal waters to the deep azure of the open sea.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

Depending on the ATC routing, distant views of the southernmost islands of the Zhoushan chain may be visible.

🌋

Mount Hallasan

South Korea's highest peak, a massive shield volcano, dominates the center of Jeju Island during the descent.

🏖️

Aewol Coastline

The rugged basalt rocks and emerald waters of the northwestern Jeju coast as the plane aligns for landing.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the East China Sea. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for the Ou River estuary and the last 15 minutes for the approach into Jeju. During winter, look for the snow-capped peak of Hallasan which is particularly striking from this side.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⚓

Wenzhou Port Infrastructure

Views of the massive container terminals and maritime activity near Longwan district.

🚢

Fishing Fleet Formations

Spot clusters of fishing vessels that dot the East China Sea, often appearing as tiny white specks against the blue.

🌬️

Jeju Offshore Wind Farms

Large-scale white wind turbines standing in the ocean waters near the southern and western shores of the island.

🌅

Southern Jeju Horizon

Expansive views of the horizon where the sea meets the sky, offering spectacular colors during late afternoon flights.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to capture the sunset over the water. Watch for the turquoise shallow waters near Jeju's coast, which contrast sharply with the dark volcanic rock. This side provides a great sense of the island's isolation in the middle of the sea as you approach from the southwest.
