Scenic Hill (Chinese: 觀景山) is a hill on Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong, and stands at a height of 77 metres (253 ft) above the sea level.[1] Today, Scenic Hill is the tallest point on Chek Lap Kok Island, which houses Hong Kong International Airport. In the 1990s, taller nearby mountains on Chek Lap Kok Island were bulldozed to make reclaimed-land for the airport.
