    I land at 3pm and depart at 10pm.

    I've never been before, would it be possible to get into the City and see or do something and back out to the Airport.

    I checked the rail link and it's only 30 minutes or so. I'd imagine emigration on arrival and check in on departure would cut into any time I'd have.

    Would I be better off just waiting around in the airport?

    Hong Kong is one place where it's worth spending 7 hours.

    HK airport is on Lantau Island - instead of travelling to the main island you could stay on Lantau and go up the Big Buddha on a cable car. You should have enough time, and to look around Ngong Ping - some breath-taking views.

    Hong Kong is a lovely place and I found the people lovely.

    It's 5 yrs since I was in hong kong but I remember seeing a service offered there aimed specifically at people with a few hrs stopover. It was some kind of sightseeing tour without the need to clear immigration as I guess they keep you contained somehow. Sorry I can't be more specific but someone must know something more about it!
