KWE → JJN
Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning mountain views, the Right Side is superior for the approach into Quanzhou, offering panoramic views of the Fujian coastline, the Taiwan Strait, and the industrial maritime landscape of the Jinjiang area.
Nanling Mountains
Dense, mist-covered subtropical forests and ridges along the border of Hunan and Guangdong.
Ganzhou Basin
The distinctive red soil and vast citrus orchards of southern Jiangxi province.
Jinjiang Coastline
Beautiful sandy beaches and the blue waters of the Taiwan Strait during the descent.
Shishi Cityscape
Densely packed urban architecture and textile hubs visible right before landing.
Quanzhou Port
Active shipping lanes and large cargo vessels anchored in the deep water ports.
The right side is the 'money' side for the arrival. As the plane turns to align with the runway at JJN, you often fly parallel to the coast, providing a stunning contrast between the blue sea and the dense urban sprawl of Fujian. For evening flights, this side catches the warm sunset light reflecting off the water.
Guiyang Karst
Dramatic limestone peak formations immediately visible after takeoff from Longdongbao.
Xiang River Valley
The expansive river systems of southern Hunan winding through agricultural basins.
Quanzhou Bay Bridge
A massive sea-crossing bridge visible as the plane descends towards Jinjiang.
Quanzhou Old Town
View of the historic urban center and ancient temples of this maritime Silk Road hub.
Sit on the left if you want to avoid direct sunlight during midday flights heading east. This side provides excellent views of the rugged inland topography of Guizhou and Hunan provinces. During the final approach, look for the Luoyang Bridge, one of China's four famous ancient bridges.
