In need of a little escape right in the heart of the city? Head over to the West Kowloon Art Park, where the pet-friendly waterfront park will prove to be a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Not what comes to mind immediately when you think of romantic places in Hong Kong, but here, the busy Tsim Sha Tsui traffic is muted, so you can spend some quiet and quality time with your loved one. Pack a picnic basket, read a book on the lawn or capture your other half through the lens at Instagram-worthy spots throughout the park– spending an afternoon here is one of the most popular Hong Kong date ideas among locals. Nearby, you’ll find performance and exhibition venues, a live house, the newly opened M+ museum and an array of restaurants and cafes along the promenade. If you’re eco-conscious like Hotel ICON, the park’s bike-sharing programme allows you to rent a bike as a sustainable means of getting around in the District.

Spend a relaxing afternoon savouring made-to-order treats at the cafe, or casually stroll among interactive displays that tell the story of Hong Kong, and wait for the golden hour. The sunset here is unmatched. As the night falls, the world-renowned skyline and Victoria Harbour will be beautifully lit, truly a sight to behold.
