Access and Transport - Airport Express or MTR to Tung Chung, then change to bus S1 to the Airport terminal building. There are actually two bus stops near the terminal, one just before (which is next to Carpark 2) and one directly under the terminal. The bus stop under the terminal is closer for this spot. To return to Tung Chung, take the bus from the same bus stop (it’s a circular route).

Type of action - 25R arrivals & 25L cargo arrivals (in the distance)

Pros - comfortable, lots of shade, 25R arrivals are frequent, easy access to Airport washrooms, shops and restaurants

Cons - lamp posts get in the way, not particularly close to the planes, cannot see any departures
