JJN → NNG
Which side of the plane to sit from Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou) to Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior mix of coastal geography and urban megastructures. Passengers can view the beautiful Xiamen coastline shortly after takeoff and the massive urban sprawl and bridge networks of the Pearl River Delta during the mid-flight segment.

Xiamen and Kinmen Islands
Immediately after departure from Quanzhou, enjoy a panoramic view of Xiamen's urban skyline and the nearby Kinmen islands across the strait.
Shantou Coastal Plain
The dense urban clusters of the Chaoshan region where the Han River meets the South China Sea.
Pearl River Estuary
Clear views of the massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the bustling maritime traffic of the Lingdingyang waters.
Shenzhen & Hong Kong
Depending on the specific airway corridor, look for the skyscrapers of Shenzhen's Nanshan district and the rugged peaks of Hong Kong's New Territories.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the coastline. This side is particularly spectacular during clear autumn days when the smog over the Pearl River Delta is minimal. Keep an eye out for the distinct Humen and Shenzhong bridge spans connecting the east and west banks of the delta.

Fujian-Guangdong Highlands
The rugged, tea-growing mountain ranges of the inland Minnan and Eastern Guangdong regions.
Dinghu Mountain
The lush green canopy of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve near Zhaoqing, offering a stark contrast to the surrounding urban areas.
The Winding Xi River
The 'West River' snakes through the landscape, acting as a major artery for trade between Guangxi and Guangdong.
Guangxi Karst Landscape
During the descent into Nanning, the iconic limestone 'sugarloaf' hills begin to emerge from the flat plains, typical of the region's world-famous geology.
The right side is ideal for nature lovers. For the best view of the karst formations near Nanning, a late afternoon flight is recommended as the low sun angle creates dramatic shadows and highlights on the limestone peaks. Look for the terraced hillsides in the inland Fujian section shortly after takeoff.
