Sublime Sunset
The airport maintenance area is located at the west of the airport. As a perfect photo spot of sunset, you can enjoy the endless views of Pearl River Port and the whole sunset process on the long beach.
The difference between this maintenance area and other sunset spots of Hong Kong is due to its environmental features. You can take pictures of the beautiful sunset, while photographing the aircraft gliding and landing at close range just above your head. Get a taste of it and it will become one of your unforgettable experiences.
