The new landmark, situated at the former Kai Tak Airport runway, is Hong Kong’s first sky garden built on curved and wavy noise barriers. Spanning 1.4 km and encapsulating the theme of aviation, the sky garden will give visitors a sense of nostalgia for the old days of the former airport. More than 80 trees and shrub species have been planted in the garden, and the corridor is divided into the zones of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The sky garden features three elevated plazas, the Garden Plaza, the Lawn Plaza and the Fountain Plaza, each with unique characteristics. Additionally, the Ground Plaza has an amphitheatre that can be used for leisure and recreational activities. From now to November 30, visitors can take interesting photos, using 3D augmented reality, to enrich their experience at check-in spots in the sky garden.
