Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular coastal perspective of the South China Sea, featuring major bays, offshore islands, and a clear view of Xiamen's skyline and Kinmen Island before descending into Quanzhou.
Pearl River Estuary
Massive infrastructure including the Humen Bridge and the complex waterway network of the delta.
Daya Bay
View of the significant industrial zones and coastal curves of the Huizhou shoreline.
Nan'ao Island
The long cross-sea bridge and the island's unique shape, often dotted with offshore wind turbines.
Xiamen & Gulangyu
A stunning panoramic view of Xiamen Island, the international shipping port, and the UNESCO heritage site Gulangyu.
Kinmen Island
Exceptional views of Kinmen Island situated just off the coast of Xiamen, clearly visible during the approach.
This is the premier side for coastal scenery. For afternoon flights, be prepared for potential glare from the sea. Try to secure a seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of Xiamen and the Taiwan Strait. The approach into Quanzhou Jinjiang usually provides a close-up of the Quanzhou Bay Bridge.
Guangzhou Skyline
Bird's-eye view of the sprawling Pearl River Delta metropolis and the Canton Tower shortly after takeoff.
Eastern Guangdong Highlands
Dense green mountain ranges and valleys as the flight moves inland through Huizhou and Heyuan regions.
Chaozhou Urban Sprawl
The dense residential and industrial areas surrounding the Han River and the historic city of Chaozhou.
Jiulong River Valley
Aerial view of the fertile plains and winding river systems near Zhangzhou in southern Fujian province.
Sit on this side if you prefer views of the rolling mountain terrain and inland city architecture. During morning flights, this side will have less glare, making it easier to photograph the landscape without reflections.
