Which side of the plane to sit from Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic panoramic view of the Fujian and Guangdong coastlines, offering glimpses of Xiamen Bay and the intricate waterways of the Pearl River Delta.
Quanzhou Bay Bridge
Immediately after takeoff, witness the expansive cross-sea bridge spanning the blue waters of Quanzhou Bay.
Xiamen Island Skyline
A clear view of Xiamen's urban center, the surrounding bays, and the nearby Kinmen islands to the south.
Shantou Coastline
Aerial perspectives of the Han River delta and the sprawling coastal infrastructure of the Shantou Special Economic Zone.
Pearl River Estuary
As the flight descends, the vast network of shipping lanes and industrial ports of the eastern delta come into view.
Dongguan Urban Grid
High-density urban development and bridge networks connecting the manufacturing hubs of the PRD region.
Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you for better photography of the coastline. The transition from the rugged Fujian coast to the flat, water-logged Pearl River Delta is most striking from this side. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes and the last 20 minutes of the flight.
Daiyun Mountains
The rolling green peaks of southern Fujian's inland mountain ranges providing a lush, topographical contrast.
Wanlv Lake (Heyuan)
Look for the massive, crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Xinfengjiang Reservoir, one of Guangdong's largest lakes.
Guangdong Hinterland
A patchwork of agricultural fields and traditional villages nestled between the low-lying hills of eastern Guangdong.
Northern Guangzhou Foothills
The gradual transition from rural hills to the dense northern suburbs of Guangzhou during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Look for the distinct 'thousand island' appearance of the reservoirs in the Guangdong highlands. This side offers a much more mountainous and green landscape compared to the coastal left side.
