The Kai Tak Cruise Terminal is one of the world's foremost cruise facilities located at the tip of Hong Kong's old airport runway. Besides underscoring the city's legacy as an international transit hub, it integrates this once inaccessible corner of Kowloon with the new public open space network in the district. A cruise terminal facility would typically be exclusive for travellers. However, Kai Tak subverts the typology by creating a multifunctional leisure and tourism destination, a floating oasis integrating the city's energy and landscapes in Asia's most extensive public rooftop park.
