After leaving The Wing, I decided to walk to The Pier, it's solid 20-minute walk and you can take the train there towards, but can only walk back towards The Wing. At the end of the terminal is a sign that is easy to miss with escalators heading downstairs.

After checking things out and relaxing for a bit, I headed to leave the airport and meet ShF for lunch in Hong Kong.
Later in the day I got back to spend the rest of my time at HKG in The Pier. First order of business was taking a shower. Great shower rooms, although ventilation could definitely be improved.

After relaxing a bit more, it was time to head towards The Wing and my gate for my flight to Colombo.
The Pier is a great lounge, definitely fitting of a first class lounge between the decor, service, amenities and food - definitely would recommend it!
