1 hour 45 min clears the 100-minute international minimum connection time at Wujiaba, but you should still head directly to your gate. Changshui is a single large terminal split into domestic and international wings, connected by internal walkways and, for the farthest concourse piers, an automated people mover. All transferring passengers, domestic or international, must pass through a dedicated transfer counter to get a new boarding pass and then undergo security re-screening before reaching the departure gates.

If you miss a connection, go to the China Eastern or your operating carrier's transfer desk in the terminal, as most connections here are on Chinese carriers with staffed rebooking counters; international passengers may need to clear immigration first before any rebooking can occur.
