Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Park,Hong Kong

Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Park sits on the redeveloped Kai Tak harbourfront, built on land that once formed part of the famous Kai Tak Airport runway. The site is significant as a symbol of Hong Kong's urban renewal — transforming an iconic aviation area into a modern cruise terminal and public open space that reconnects Kowloon with Victoria Harbour.

Places to visit

  • Cruise Terminal building with its sweeping, modern roofline and passenger facilities (note: building access may be restricted to cruise passengers at times).
  • Waterfront promenade offering wide views across Kowloon Bay and Hong Kong Island skyline.
  • Viewing decks and elevated walkways that are popular for photography and skyline watching.
  • Kai Tak Runway Park (adjacent) — lawns, playgrounds and event spaces ideal for families and gatherings.

Unique Aspects

  • Panoramic harbour and skyline views — excellent at sunrise/sunset and for night photography.
  • Large open lawns and flexible event spaces used for outdoor performances and community events.
  • A visible link to the former Kai Tak runway layout incorporated into the park design.
  • Good vantage points for watching cruise ships enter and leave Victoria Harbour.

Things to do

  • Strolling or jogging along the waterfront promenade.
  • Picnicking on the lawns and relaxing on the viewing decks.
  • Photography of harbor, skyscrapers and cruise operations.
  • Attending occasional outdoor concerts, community fairs and seasonal events in the park.
  • Family activities at playground areas in the adjacent Runway Park.

Best Time to Visit

October to March for the most comfortable weather (cooler, lower humidity). Evenings are especially pleasant for skyline views.

Accessibility

Recommended Duration

Allow 1–3 hours to stroll the promenade, relax on the lawns and take photos; longer if attending an event or combining with other Kai Tak attractions.
