Which side of the plane to sit from Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the maritime scenery, featuring the dramatic coastline of the South China Sea and the unique sight of the Kinmen Islands.
Quanzhou Bay Bridge
A massive engineering marvel visible shortly after departure from JJN.
Kinmen Islands
Clear views of the archipelago situated remarkably close to the mainland coast near Xiamen.
Nan'ao Island
A prominent coastal island with wind turbines visible along its ridges near Shantou.
Daya Bay
The site of large-scale energy infrastructure and deep-water ports near Huizhou.
Dapeng Peninsula
The rugged, mountainous green peninsula that marks the eastern edge of Shenzhen.
Book an 'A' seat for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour lighting over the Taiwan Strait. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Kinmen island group.
Xiamen Cityscape
The impressive skyline of Xiamen Island and the Haicang District.
Lianhua Mountains
The dense, green mountain ranges that dominate the landscape of eastern Guangdong province.
Pearl River Delta Sprawl
The transition into the world's most populous urban area as you approach Dongguan.
Bao'an District
Dense clusters of skyscrapers and industrial parks during the final descent into Shenzhen.
Guangshen Expressway
The busy artery connecting Guangzhou and Shenzhen, visible just before landing.
Sit on the right side during morning flights to keep the sun behind you. If the flight lands from the north (Runway 15/16), the right side offers a better view of the massive terminal 3 building at SZX.
