You’ve figured out the “who” you want to spend the rest of your life with, now it’s time to pin down the “where”. Hong Kong boasts a number of swoon-worthy venues with a view, beautiful beaches and picturesque parks. Here are a couple romantic places in Hong Kong to get you started.
Victoria Peak Garden
Ride the tram up to the peak and take a scenic stroll to Victoria Peak Garden. Scattered around the lush green lawn are charming pagodas, gazebos and delightful Victorian features like sundials.
