Suspended above the vast concourse of Terminal 1, a full-scale replica of the “Spirit of Sha Tin” seems to taxi through the air. Slender wooden wings and wire bracing contrast with LED departure boards and polished granite below, where travelers stream past. The tableau pairs Hong Kong’s aviation origin story with a 21st-century hub—handmade optimism set against modern velocity.
