Enjoy a fascinating show of lights
There is nothing more jaw-dropping than observing “A Symphony of Lights”, a multi-media show which illuminates Hong Kong’s already impressive skyline. This is an ideal activity for the romantics, to sit back and enjoy this iconic show, which represents Hong Kong’s heritage, culture and energy. If you’re interested in witnessing a show you’re likely to never forget, make an early start from your Kowloon hotel in Hong Kong, the likes of Park Hotel Hong Kong, as the show begins at eight on the dot. This show is entirely free or charge and requires no tickets or admission of sorts. Afterwards, you and your partner can head for a hearty meal!
A day out in Mong Kok
A day exploring the vibrant Mong Kok is perfect for couples that enjoy discovering new cities together. Mong Kok is known as the busiest district in Hong Kong, with an unending list of things to do and see to keep you occupied for an entire day. Known for its great shopping opportunities, this is where couples can head if they want to revamp their wardrobes or up their couple outfit game! Sneakers Street, Argyle Centre and Sai Yeung Choi Street are a few of the many must-visit locales in the area to please the shopaholic in you. In fact, if you're looking to buy something for your partner, there is no better place to do so than in Mong Kok! Once you'll have tired yourselves out with the shopping, it is time to go on an unforgettable gastronomic journey. Trying the local street food is a must when you're in Mong Kok, as there are numerous tempting street-food stalls everywhere you look!
Take a romantic stroll in the park
To escape from the constant buzz of the big city, escape to Kowloon Park for some much-needed green and serenity! Located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon Park is a staggering 12.5 hectares of stunning greenery, water bodies, flora and fauna. While city-loving couples will enjoy every inch of what Hong Kong has to offer, a stroll in a beautiful park is always an activity one can look forward to. Apart from the impressive beauty, the park also boasts several outdoor facilities to spend your time away from, such as swimming pools, sports centres, fitness trails, roof gardens and much more!
A different view
While the Hong Kong skyline is stunning from any vantage point within the island, it's even more impressive when you look at it from a ferry! A must-do activity when in Hong Kong would be to take a ferry ride out into the turquoise ocean, and get a glimpse of what the city-state looks like from the beyond. You will easily catch a glimpse of these popular green and white ferries dotting the ocean when you're on land, so do make some time to check it out with your partner. The ferry, historically, used to be a major form of transportation in Hong Kong, therefore, carries with it a very heavy sense of importance. This is a highly affordable activity offering some of the most unique views of Hong Kong.
