The "HK Aviation Series" is a Geocaching Power Trail, placed along the "Hong Kong Airport Trail", that has been recently renovated, from the Ancient Kiln Park and Antiquities Garden, by Scenic Hill at the southern end of Chek Lap Kok, running under the expressway and along the eastern coastline to the Hong Kong Border Crossing Facilities, located on a reclaimed artificial island at the north-east area of the Airport. The jogging track was refurbished and encompasses both history and nature along its route. From the trail you get fantastic views to the east of Chek Lap Kok, to Tung Chung and over to the New Territories. You will walk under the flight path of the South Runway, getting close up with the planes and get to see many fishermen and women along the coast. As an added bonus, you will also have a chance to grab few of the other already established geocaches at the Airport. There are 15 caches in the “HK Aviation Series” and each one will share a bit of Hong Kong’s Aviation History.
3rd Runway (3RS) - Hong Kong is connected to about 180 destinations, through over 1,000 daily flights by more than 100 airlines. In order to meet future demand until 2030 and beyond, the Airport Authority Hong Kong (“AAHK”) have commenced the transformation into a three-runway system (“3RS”) to support the two currently operated runways. Its main project aimed at expanding the current airport infrastructure to a Third-Runway System to maintain the position of Hong Kong International Airport as a leading international and regional aviation hub. The new runway will be 3.8km long and 60 meters wide, with around 14,000 ground lights to guide aircraft. Construction of the third runway is only one part of HKIA’s ambitious mega-airport expansion project, which is worth an estimated $18.2 billion and includes a new terminal building. Over 650 hectares of land north of HKIA have been reclaimed for the expansion project.
