Romantic Serendipity at The Repulse Bay!

After work, I rushed from Mong Kok to Repulse Bay, eager to visit the flower shop at The Repulse Bay for a photo op with an old-school romantic vibe reminiscent of Eileen Chang's novels. But upon reaching the garden, I found the fountain surrounded by colorful lanterns, giving off a Mid-Autumn Festival vibe rather than a Western-style garden atmosphere 😆. I wanted to enjoy a cup of coffee but found the café closed. Turning a corner, I stumbled upon The Verandah, where the waiter recommended a mocktail so beautiful I almost couldn't bear to drink it—a daisy floating atop pink berry juice, its sweet and tangy flavor perfectly complemented by the sea breeze, instantly washing away the stress of the workweek! Sitting on the terrace, gazing at the greenery against the evening glow, and watching the sea gradually turn golden, my friends and I chatted away, reluctant to leave. What started as a misstep turned into a delightful seaside gathering, proving that "plans can't keep up with changes"—the best way to spend a weekend in Hong Kong! 📍The Verandah tends to have a queue during sunset hours, so it's best to arrive before 5 PM. The flower shop at The Repulse Bay has the softest morning light, so I'll make sure to visit earlier next time to capture the perfect shot! Have you ever stumbled upon a hidden gem by accident?
