Its been closed down now so you cannot get the experience.
It was a good "eye opener" back in the old days. The new airport is just a plain old airport. Had to chuckle with fingpilots comment about the long taxi. The new airport at Hong Kong is just as long a taxi at times and parking is still a bear. HK is still one of my favourite cities in the world.
We did get the EGPWS warning but just gave up and disabled it for the approach after a while.
You guys want a fun approach, try Innsbruck in IFR conditions. Then shoot it VFR and see just how close the approach takes you to the mountains. Really gets your attention. Another fun one is Moscow Vukuno...
