One good thing about the *old* HK airport (Kai Tak) was that it was about a 5 minute cab ride from the Star Ferry terminal on Kowloon.The train to and from the city *is* pretty impressive though.And it's all courtesy of the Brits who got things underway just before they left.Of course the Chicoms won't tell you that.
True that, but at the old airport they about had to fly sideways just to miss the buildings. Either way, it’s a great city. I’ve been a few times and would really like to spend a year.
