The vast cruise terminal, formerly the Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport, was once one of the busiest airports globally, ranking third in passenger traffic and first in cargo volume. However, due to limited space for development, on July 6, 1998, Kai Tak Airport ceased its operations, becoming a shared memory among Hong Kong residents.
To preserve Kai Tak’s significance as a transportation hub, the government constructed this Kai Tak Cruise Terminal without using any reclamation approach, aiming to create a new waterfront landmark that combines historical culture with green leisure spaces.Completed in June 2013, the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal can accommodate two super oil tankers with a displacement of up to 110,000 tons and even the world’s largest cruise ships, rivaling the former glory of Kai Tak Airport.
The terminal features three-floor high passenger clearance facilities and visitor services, making it suitable for large exhibitions and commercial events. At the rooftop, the Terminal Park offers panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, making it an ideal spot for those who enjoy quietly appreciating the scenery!
