Before Departure: Check-in at Hong Kong International Airport.

Hong Kong International Airport (IATA code: HKG), located at Chek Lap Kok on Lantau Island, is one of the busiest airports in the world. Since its opening in 1998, it has become a major aviation hub in Asia, connecting over 220 destinations worldwide. The airport features two parallel runways and two main terminals, handling over 70 million passengers annually. Designed by renowned architect Norman Foster, the airport is known for its modern and functional architectural style. The terminal design emphasizes openness and transparency, using extensive glass and steel structures to create a spacious and bright environment. The interior design focuses on passenger comfort and convenience, with multiple rest areas and commercial facilities. Additionally, the airport's eco-friendly design, including a rainwater recycling system and energy-efficient lighting, has been highly praised. There are several must-see attractions within Hong Kong International Airport. First is the 'Spirit of Sha Tin,' a model of an ancient sailing ship located inside the terminal, symbolizing Hong Kong's maritime history and culture, and a popular photo spot for travelers. Secondly, the airport's observation deck offers an excellent vantage point for close-up views of aircraft takeoffs and landings, making it a favorite among aviation enthusiasts. Lastly, various art installations and exhibitions, such as the 'Dream of Flight' sculpture, provide travelers with rich cultural experiences.
