A visitor from Hong Kong posted Thu December 7, 2006: This photo is excellent!! The weather is fine and the visibility is very good. Apart from seeing the Victoria Harbour & the ex-Kai Tak Airport, it is able to see the Shatin area on the top left and Ma On Shan area on the top right. This photo, I believe, was taken from an helicopter or fixed wing plane.
A visitor from Brazil posted Sat September 30, 2006: Still amazes me how could people land a bunch of 747s everyday on that strip. 5*. Anyway, doesn't it look a bit overcrowded on the water?
A visitor from Sweden posted Sun September 17, 2006: Very nice! Miss Kai Tak!=(
A visitor from United States posted Sat September 16, 2006: Excellent overview of Hong Kong, showing just how little useable land is available. Plus, it's beautiful.
A visitor from Sweden posted Thu September 14, 2006: 5 Stras!!Exellent shot! I really miss KAi tak!=(
A visitor from Hong Kong posted Sat September 9, 2006: Nice angle, capturing virtually the whole Kai Tak clearly. Very rare to have such clear days now in Hong Kong. Sadly the government does nothing to preserve anything for this, now forever gone, good old servant for Hong Kong's prosperity.
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 8, 2006: Was only a Pax back in the day and didn't appreciate the skilled maneuvers by the pilots to land there, but I was treated to the most incredible approach of all time ! What fun!
A visitor from Hong Kong posted Fri September 8, 2006: Miss the good ol' days! Tell ya something else: Kai Tak's area will be developed into a complex including piers for crusie liners, harbour-side park, a new stadium and some residential buildings. Never forget RWY 13!
A visitor from Brazil posted Fri September 8, 2006: Is this the heaven? 5*!
