CHECKERBOARD HILL

@ HONG KONG

TRAVEL • DEC 2023 • HONG KONG

It’s fun when a hike ends in a surreal photo spot. Located in the flight path of one of the runway used in the old Kai Tak Airport, this 98-m-tall hill had some of its slopes painted in the red-white pattern to guide pilots to fly and land their aircrafts according to the correct route, and thus its name was born. The place now has a renewed role as a recreation park with a large field on top, and of course as a cool instagram spot.
