✈️ Welcome to Hong Kong International Airport
Since 1998, Chek Lap Kok Airport is an important regional trans-shipment centre, passenger hub and gateway for destinations in Mainland China (with 45 destinations) and the rest of Asia. The airport is the world's busiest cargo gateway and one of the world's busiest passenger airports. It is also home to one of the world's largest passenger terminal buildings (the largest when opened in 1998). [Wikipedia]
Suspended right here in the terminal is the "Spirit of Sha Tin"—a full-scale replica of the very first aircraft to fly in Hong Kong.
