Channel Rock (Chinese: 海峽石) was a big rock in the midst of Kowloon Bay,^[1] in the east Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, opposite Kwun Tong Ferry Pier. It was incorporated into the extension of the runway of Kai Tak Airport. A navigation light^[2][3] was built on the rock in 1921, but was demolished with the extension of the Kai Tak runway.
