Yangtze River

Follow the serpentine curves of Asia's longest river as it navigates toward the East China Sea.

πŸ’§

Taihu Lake

Panoramic views of the massive lake and the surrounding 'Water Towns' of the Yangtze Delta region.

🏝️

Yellow Sea Archipelago

Hundreds of small, emerald-green islands dotting the West Sea of the Korean Peninsula during the approach.

πŸŒ‰

Incheon Grand Bridge

A magnificent view of one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges connecting Yeongjongdo to the mainland.

Incheon Port

The bustling maritime activity of one of Korea's most important trade gateways visible just before landing.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Yellow Sea. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight, as the plane often flies directly over the scenic islands surrounding Incheon Airport.

Shandong Coastline

The transition point where the aircraft leaves the Chinese mainland near the tip of the Shandong Peninsula.

Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight. If the flight path is northerly, you may catch glimpses of the coastline of North Korea in the distance before banking toward Incheon.
