Romantic spots sprinkled around Hong Kong
1. Take a ride on the Star Ferry

An affordable trip on public transportation is probably not your typical date idea, but why not take a ride on a part of local history with the Star Ferry? You can hop on for a cheap daytime trip across the harbour or splurge on one of the Star Ferry’s nighttime harbour tours. Step aboard a special Star Ferry that harkens back to the 1920s while you relax on the deck and take in the skyline. For an extra special date, book the Star Ferry’s Harbour Tour “A Symphony of Lights” to take in the nightly light show in style.

2. Head to Hong Kong Space Museum for a starry, starry night

Not only is visiting a museum educational and entertaining, but we think it can also be romantic in a way. At the Hong Kong Space Museum, you can stargaze inside the hemispherical projection dome. The museum also hosts an annual Sky Show using its digital planetarium projection system, so you can get even closer to the constellations that make up Hong Kong’s night skies.

Aberdeen Harbour might not be the first place that comes to mind when you’re planning a date night in Hong Kong, but this is a uniquely romantic spot that exudes a certain local charm not found elsewhere in the city. In Aberdeen, you can hire a sampan and cruise around picturesque spots. Alternatively, take a stroll along the waterfront promenade and soak in sights of floating restaurants, junks, houseboats, and seafood markets while learning more about the rich heritage of the indigenous communities in the area.

Looking for something a little different from the usual dinner and drinks for your next date night? Hop on a Ding Ding and tram your way around Hong Kong Island!
