'''Chek Lap Kok''' is an [[Islands of Hong Kong|island]] in the western waters of [[Hong Kong]]'s [[New Territories]]. Unlike the smaller [[Lam Chau]], it was only partially leveled when it was assimilated via [[Land reclamation in Hong Kong|land reclamation]] into the {{convert|12.48|km2}} island for the current [[Hong Kong International Airport]], which opened for commercial aviation in 1998. The airport is popularly referred to as ''Chek Lap Kok Airport'' to distinguish it from the former Hong Kong International Airport, now commonly known as [[Kai Tak Airport]].

[[Hong Kong SkyCity]], a business and entertainment complex, is also located on Chek Lap Kok. It includes [[AsiaWorld–Expo]], a convention and exhibition centre, which opened in 2005.
