With the aim to transform the passengers’ travel experience at Hong Kong International Airport, different multimedia features are set up at three zones of the airport to enhance the ambience of the terminal. Join us and embark on this unique journey of discovery at HKIA to be transported into a digital world at Hong Kong International Airport’s three new multimedia zones!
To set the tone for this exciting “Journey of Discovery”, we have transformed the passenger elevator at the heart of Terminal 1 into a crystal facade that opens to reveal eight digital works related to Hong Kong, travel and cheeky fun. The works include a paper craft rendition of the city from sunrise to sunset in “Hong Kong Journey”; an animated crossover between Hong Kong characters 癲噹 DinDong, 大泥 Bigsoil and 文地貓 Mandycat in “Claw & Catch”; and a glimpse into the deep blue world of wonder in “The Aquarium”.
For a more serene experience, travellers can retreat to the two “Waterfall Gardens” at the North and South Gardens in the Arrivals Hall. Expect pleasant surprises when you interact with the waterfall, creek and pond within a multimedia ecosystem! The “Totems of Joy” at the Central Concourse boarding gates have also been installed with selfie-worthy evolving content.
