ATMs and exchange offices
There are several exchange offices in the arrivals hall, but the rates are not very good.
You're better off withdrawing money from the ATMs of Hong Kong's regular banks (HSBC or Bank of China), which dispense money to foreign cards (such as Revolut) without a fee.
ATMs are located in the public area of the arrivals hall on the exit side of the transit zone (for example, near the 7-Eleven store). Cash will come in handy in Hong Kong, for example when buying public transport tickets, which cannot be paid for with a card in most places.
Drinking water
Many places offer free hot and lukewarm drinking water in your own bottle after a security check.
Look for stations marked as "Water Zone".
Smoking rooms
After the security check, you can smoke on the outdoor terrace called the "Sky Garden". The smoking area is located at the beginning of the terminal before the departure gate area.
