It's the same building. Arrivals on the lower level. Go there pick up your bags, then go back upstairs to departure level to go through immigration.

From Peak to Big Buddha, go back down to the Hong Kong MTR station in Central, take Tung Chung MTR line to Tung Chung (end of line), then switch to cable car. Urban (red) taxis cannot get to Big Buddha. You will have to take it to Tung Chung (Maybe HK$350-400 from Peak), then switch to a blue Lantau taxi (~HK$150 or so). And you aren't saving much time, which you have plenty anyways.
Thank you. Appreciate your help. Yes, my transfer desk is W1. I'll try to get a boarding pass before I exit. Or, maybe I can do a web check-in 48 hours prior to my flight and print one before I even get to HK.

I just hope the weather is not too bad on Sept 23rd for me to check out both places. I heard if it's foggy/raining, the peak tram is not worth going on, so I might have to plan accordingly.
