Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular view of the rugged Wuyi Mountains and the unique Danxia landforms of Fujian, which are best illuminated by the afternoon sun during the approach to the coast.
Luoxiao Mountains
The dramatic ridgeline forming the natural boundary between the Xiang and Gan river basins.
Wuyi Shan National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring steep peaks, deep gorges, and some of the world's most ancient tea plantations.
Taining Danxia
Distinctive reddish sandstone cliffs and vertical rock formations that stand out against the lush green canopy.
Jin River Meanders
The winding path of the Jin River as it flows from the highlands toward Quanzhou's urban center.
Quanzhou Heritage Sites
Depending on the approach, glimpses of the historic temples and old city layout of this ancient Maritime Silk Road hub.
The right side is superior for afternoon flights, as the sun illuminates the red Danxia rock formations. Keep your camera ready about mid-flight for the Wuyi Mountain range. This side also typically offers a better view of the Jin River valley as the aircraft maneuvers into Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport.
Changsha Urban Fringe
Aerial view of the expanding urban landscape and industrial zones of eastern Hunan shortly after takeoff.
Poyang Lake Basin
Distant views of the vast wetland systems and water networks characteristic of northern Jiangxi province.
Wuyi Foothills
Dense, subtropical evergreen forests covering the rolling hills at the border of Jiangxi and Fujian.
Min River Delta
Complex river systems winding through the valleys of northern Fujian toward the East China Sea.
Quanzhou Bay
Views of the massive cross-sea bridges and coastal developments as the plane aligns for its final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get better visibility of the coastal plains. Watch for the transition from the green mountains of Fujian to the shimmering Quanzhou Bay during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
