Hong Kong passport control closing time?
I'm looking to go into town and come back on one of the latest airport express trains. I am wondering if anyone knows what time security/passport control closes? I'd like to come back around midnight to 1am and go to one of the 24 hour lounges until my flight.

HK Express has a 4:30a flight to Phuket on some days. So, passport control may actually not closed until very very late.
Otherwise, first flights are usually at 6:55a. HK Airlines to XMN and Scoot to SIN. Passport control and security probably reopens at around 5:30a. Which is before Airport Express for sure. There are "N" buses that arrives HKG throughout the night.

Few years ago I was catching the flight after watching Harry Porter from 12am (finished at 3am), head to the airport and Security opens at 05:30am
For closing, it close around gate close for final flight of the day (i.e. normally ~2am)
