WUH → JJN
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers sweeping views of the Yangtze River during departure and the dramatic coastline of the Taiwan Strait during the descent into Quanzhou.
Yangtze River Loops
Shortly after takeoff, see the massive Yangtze River winding through the Jianghan Plain east of Wuhan.
Poyang Lake
Depending on the specific airway, look for the vast expanse of China's largest freshwater lake in Jiangxi province.
Wuyi Mountains
Fly over the eastern ridges of this UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its jagged peaks and lush greenery.
Fujian Coastline
As the plane descends, enjoy views of the rugged coastline and the numerous islands dotting Meizhou Bay.
Quanzhou Bay
A beautiful aerial view of the bay and the Quanzhou Bay Bridge as you align for the final approach into JJN.
Choose a window seat on the left (Seat A) to avoid the direct afternoon sun while flying south. For the best photography of Poyang Lake, mid-morning flights offer the most vibrant blue hues. Watch for the massive bridge infrastructure as you approach the coast near Putian and Quanzhou.
Wuhan Skyline
Catch views of the 'Three Towns of Wuhan' and the iconic Yellow Crane Tower area immediately after takeoff.
Gan River Valley
Follow the path of the Gan River as it cuts through the mountainous terrain of central Jiangxi.
Fujian Highlands
Dense forest cover and deep valleys dominate the landscape through the central part of the journey.
Jinjiang River
View the winding Jinjiang River that gives the airport its name as you cross into southern Fujian.
Quanzhou City
A close-up look at the dense urban development and ancient temples of Quanzhou's historic center during landing.
The right side (Seat F) is excellent for viewing the urban density of Wuhan and Quanzhou. However, on afternoon flights, expect significant glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for the confluence of the Han and Yangtze rivers.
