You mean that approach description? I don't know, but you can set up your own.
Just use the charts here. http://hk.vatsea.net/charts.php?show=charts.php
Those are no rw charts but they'll give you all the information you need to set up the waypoints by entering them manually.
(that's only a partial view on the chart for IGS13, download it for full details, it's free)
Starting the approach from the hold at CH (Cheung Chau VOR) which is available in the sim and the FMC.
On a radial of 270 until 7DME, you would enter that waypoint as CH070/7, setting you up abeam SL (Sha Lo Wan NDB). For that abeam point, you can also use the "FIX" page of the FMC to actually calculate the exact location.
Now, depending on your speed which itself is depending on your plane (category), turn towards that NDB and prepare to intercept the Localizer while leaving the NDB at a heading of 045. The Localizer course is 088.
The Localizer will lead the (lateral) way to the famous Checker Board (which you will pass, not overfly), therefore leading to a right turn (no FMC guidance there, just plain visual) to rw13.
When you can see the Checker Board but no rw, your visuals aren't suitable for continuing the approach.
Use the radial 315 from TH (Tathong VOR) for some rough guidance when looking for the centerline of that runway. This will also define your go-around way to fly, so setting it up is a good idea.
While using the FMC or the LOC to guide you, the vertical planning is fully up to you, watch the diagram on the chart and mind the minimums.
When setting up the STAR for that airport/approach you can also use those charts. They all lead the way to the mentioned holding at CH, using some normal intersection names which should be present in the FMC database, so setting them up is easy.
If not, the coordinates are also given on that chart, so you can enter them, just in case.
Of course, as tough sim pilots as we are, we kick out all that sissy tech and take the 707 to get into the old Kai Tak.
If you ever wondered what "workload" may describe, set up some not so nice weather (at least no smooth air) and fly the hold, configure your plane and follow the precise track to get safely to that Checker Board, descending, slowing down, bringing the flaps and gear down and also running the checklists while watching your systems.
