This is deemed the 'official' spotting point at HKIA. It is located just about a few hundred meters south of the RWY 25R landing path, and the deck itself is on top of a building which is about 30 - 40 meters high. Planes landing on both RWY 25R and RWY 25L can be viewed from here, also a bit apron movements. There is no fence / glasses in front of you and it is just simply a 'building roof' overlooking the airport. Note that the viewing area has no roof-top and also no any facility for instance toilet, food kiosk or even vending machine. Visitors need to go downstairs back to Terminal 2 for drinks, snacks, toilet, etc. | This is deemed the 'official' spotting point at HKIA.
