Hong Kong International Airport
Facts on HKG
Hong Kong's old Kai Tak Airport was infamous for its 'Checkerboard Hill' approach: pilots had to spot a giant orange-and-white checkerboard painted on a hillside and then make a sharp 47-degree visual turn at under 1,000 feet, low enough that passengers could reportedly see TVs playing in nearby apartments.

When Kai Tak closed in 1998, its replacement, Hong Kong International Airport, was built by leveling two small islands, Chek Lap Kok and Lam Chau, and fusing them together with reclaimed land into an artificial island four times their original size.
