Kai Tak was the old airport in HK before 1998. In order to reuse the land and stimulate tourism, the HK government turned part of the land into a new internal cruise terminal. It just had its trail run in June but part of it is still a construction site and not yet open to the public. However, the area surrounding the terminal turned into a new park!
It's near the seaside which has nice seaview. Moreover, the pedestrian directing to the terminal is wide and straight. Therefore, it's very suitable for running, yeah!
After the briefing about the route by Alan at the sports ground, around 15 of us started tonight's run.
At the begining, we had to cross many roads with flyovers and traffic lights. It's an programme for my stepping exercise as well as "intervals".
As it's the first time I ran on this route, I must follow the leader's pace and might stop to wait for some slower runners. Therefore it was my easy run for this part.
Then we reached the Kowloon Bay Industrial Area. After that when we saw "Megabox", a popular shopping centre, the entrance to cruise terminal is just on the opposite road.
That makes it easy to identify the way, isn't it?
Cheung Yip Road is the road directed to the park.
Once getting into the park, I followed on my own pacing until the terminal was found.
The other runners came soon and we took a group photo to proof our attendance.
So here I am. Let me introduce our new cruise terminal!
After the photo-taking, many runners ran back and they had around 10km practice tonight. Siulek go on and repeat the lap at Kai Tak twice in order to make a 15km.
I saw many individual or group runners came to explore this new site as well. Also there are walkers and cyclists. Although it's a bit dark as some of the lights were not working, I enjoyed the night view Hong Kong and the silence atmosphere very much. Siulek shall come back later.
