Description is largely unhelpful because it just says B737. Based on the time period and the big front of the cowling you can see at 1:45 and how far it protrudes at 3:00 I would say most likely a -300 or -500. OP said it was on ‘Southern China Airways’ so probably China Southern Airlines which has had 36 -300 series and 12 -500 series and no -400s. So. Either a 737-300 or a 737-500.

If I recall correctly, runway 13 actually had different approaches. The IGS approach as seen here with a 45 degree turn at the end (which is shown here), and an NDB approach which was even crazier with a 90 degree turn at the end. Add windshear, high temperatures and a relatively short runway. Just crazy.

I landed there a couple of times in 1987. Banking at about 40 degrees around a skyscraper (looking in the windows) to land shortly thereafter was quite exhilarating. A couple of weeks earlier two people who worked for my firm helped to rescue people from a flight from the UK that they were on, when the plane ran off the end of the runway into the sea. Yeah, just a normal airport. See Blade 1301 comment below also.

A very busy airport. At 7:18, I saw the wheels of an aircraft just after took off. As there was only one runway in this small airport, all aircrafts taking off or landing will use this runway in the same direction. Thus, this aircraft needed to turn away from the runway immediately after landing to make way for other aircrafts taking off. Landing - taking off - landing - taking off --- of aircrafts, one by one. This shows how noisy this airport, and how busy the control tower was back then. This airport held all my childhood air travel memories!
