Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a stunning panoramic view of the South China Sea coastline, numerous islands including Nanao, and a prime aerial perspective of the Xiamen island skyline during the approach to Quanzhou.
Daya Bay
Crystal clear turquoise waters surrounding the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant complex.
Honghai Bay
Beautiful crescent-shaped sandy beaches and high-end coastal resorts visible along the shoreline.
Nanao Island
A large mountainous island featuring a massive cross-sea bridge connecting it to the mainland.
Xiamen & Gulangyu
A breathtaking view of the Xiamen island skyline, the twin towers, and the historic Gulangyu island.
Quanzhou Bay Bridge
A massive engineering feat stretching across the bay as the aircraft aligns for its final landing.
This is the premier side for coastal scenery. Choose this side for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour reflecting off the Taiwan Strait. Be ready with your camera 15-20 minutes before landing to capture Xiamen Island in detail.
Shenzhen-Huizhou Skyline
Dense urban clusters fading into the lush green hills of the eastern Pearl River Delta.
Lianhua Mountains
Rugged coastal mountain ranges in eastern Guangdong that create a dramatic green backdrop.
Chaoshan Urban Sprawl
The interconnected cities of Jieyang and Shantou featuring complex canal systems and industrial hubs.
Fujian Foothills
Traditional agricultural landscapes and rolling hills typical of the Minnan region.
Zhangzhou New District
Modern high-rise developments along the winding path of the Jiulong River.
Sit here on morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the inland mountains. During the winter, look for the 'sea of clouds' effect often found over the Fujian mountain valleys.
