How to properly redirect from a domain to another? Nginx 301 redirect.

I'm trying to move a website to a new server with a domain name

The old site is an ASP.net application running on IIS

The new site is a Laravel app on nginx

The old site's domain is:

http://ift.tt/2lgzZ2g

the new website is

http://newdomain.com

This is a snippet of my nginx conf

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name newdomain.com;

}

Is this the proper way to redirect?

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name newdomain.com;


    location = http://ift.tt/2lgzZ2g {
        return 301 /
    }

    location = http://ift.tt/2kJmSTD {
        return 301 /
    }

    location = http://ift.tt/2lgIeLL {
        return 301 /some/other/new/path
    }

}
