East Brother (Island)/Siu Mo To (小磨刀洲)

Island north-east of Chek Lap Kok Airport. The island (and also West Brother) were leveled to avoid problems with approaching or leaving aircraft.

On the island, VOR/DME (short range radio navigation systems) are installed (round structure in the center of the island).
