Plane spotting in Hong Kong

plane spotting in Hong Kong, Emirates B777

It was very windy and rainy that day, so it was only me and a few other plane spotters at the end of runway 07L. Most aircrafts land on 07L, which is not the most spotter friendly runway. The closest you get to the action is an area down by the water, a short walk from the maintenance hangars. You are still quite far from the runway, and you cannot see the touchdown zone from there, so if you want some nice photos, you will need more serious camera equipment than the iPhone and the food photography lens, that I had brought with me that day. Ā 

From Tung Chung MTR station, you can take the bus to the maintenance area, but to get to Tung Chung from the airport, you’ll have to take two different trains, so I went for the easy option and took an Uber instead. It’s quite a ride out there, so walking is not an option.

Hong Kong Hotels
Hotels in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of those cities that hits you right away—with its neon lights, narrow alleys, glossy malls, and street food that somehow tastes even better at 2am. And while hotel rooms here tend to be on the smaller side (space is a luxury!), they more than make up for it in location, views, and clever design.

Whether you're staying in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, or somewhere a bit more local like Sheung Wan or Sai Ying Pun, there’s no shortage of great places to stay. Some come with rooftop pools, some with harbor views, and some just put you right in the middle of the action—which, in Hong Kong, is exactly where you want to be.

Here’s a link to check out hotels in Hong Kong—hope you find a spot that makes you fall in love with the city like I did.
