Aways love a video about Hong Kong. 1:38 99.9% on time is actually one of the most useless stat you can give about the Hong Kong MTR, I mean that in the best way, because the trains are so frequent (one every 3 min ish when I lived there) that nobody checks train times so you don't even know if the trains are late. IMO train frequency is a better metric than how on time it is. Great video as always.

Scared the death out of me, when I first flew in. You could actually see people in their apartments.

I've lived in Hong Kong now for just over 11 years (from Scotland) and I've been seeing new roads, buildings, highway bridges, tunnels, MTR lines every single year since arriving. The new Chek Lap Kok airport is being expanded now too. Hong Kong really is an infrastructure Mecca.

This project is super awesome, but if you’re looking for more HK engineering content then a historic look at the build out of the new airport and the crazy logistics required to shift all the equipment between flights when Kai Tak was shut down is definitely worth looking at. Not to mention the switch over from British to Chinese ownership, a project on an insane deadline, and crazy engineering challenges related to rail, road, and reclaimed land.

The world's most terrifying airport. Lukla in Nepal might like to have that crown.

My first ever flight was solo from UK to HK in '97. I had a window seat facing the apartments as we banked to come in to land, that was a scary initiation to flying!

That airport is much missed by many old travel enthusiasts. It was reputedly the best “E-ticket ride” in the skies. I was too young and missed it, but I sure regret not having the experience.

My school used to be in Kowloon City. Every couple of hours my classmates had to close our ears during class. Nobody there were concerned with the safety, merely the noise.

It makes me a bit sad that I'll never experience landing at Kai Tak in a 747 and then driving by the walled city into town.

The effort put for Pedestrian subway says why hong kong public transit is so efficient. They are putting effort to make Public Transit along with being walkable across city as easier as possible. While most other countries just develop new public transit and completely forgets how walkable and easy to move around city and homes which make them unsuccessful.

I remember as 7 year old kid on the final approach into RWY 13 back in 1994 - A QANTAS 767-300ER What an epic view! At least you're able to recreate the landing on MSFS 2020

i will never use surf shark if for no other reason than them forcing me to constantly skip over ads in videos.

My hometown mentioned! And yes, pedestrian tunnels (and bridges) are common but important features throughout Hong Kong. Being a city so dense and reliant on public transportations, they are used by thousands if not millions daily to get to bypass the busy car traffic on the ground

The aviation enthusiast inside me wants Kai Tak to still be in operation. The engineering side of me is terrified of the idea of the logistics of Kai Tak.

Flying into Hong Kong airport as a 12YO sitting in the cockpit in 1981 was amazing. Cathyway Pacific was so nice to let me, and excellent service!

Hong Kong really does have the best mass transit in the world. Moving to a car-centric America-wannabe regional town in Australia was the biggest cultural shock for me.
