According to what you say, I am considered in transit and can use the Wing upon my return to the airport, right?
The Wing is on the airside of HKIA, you technically can't spend some time in the Wing after getting off CX881 if you intend to visit the city. But there is a way to reenter the city from the departure side of the airport. You could tell the lounge agent that you would like to go back to the city, and they will take you through a series of backdoors to be back on landside. I never tried, nor do I intend to in the future so can't comment on how much of a hassle this can be.
