Station 1: Yilifang Mural Street
Located near the Sai Ying Pun MTR station, the Art Lane in Yi Li Fang is a popular art zone for couples in recent years. The mural street is filled with large murals painted by local and international artists, with themes ranging from the iconic Victoria Harbour and MTR of Hong Kong to the street scenes of Western towns. There are more than a dozen different styles of paintings spanning Chung Ching Street, Kei Ling Lane, and Shek Tong Lane in Sai Ying Pun, making it a unique presence in the bustling West District. Walking with your partner in the colorful alleys, taking photos and showing affection, is sure to start a wonderful day for you!
Yi Li Fang Mural Street
Location: Qi Ling Lane, Shi Zhan Lane, and Zhong Zheng Street in Western Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong Island.
Access method: Walk for about 1 minute from Exit B3 of Xiyinpan.
Station 2: Japanese Zen-style coffee shop.
Dating activities don't necessarily have to be rich and exciting. Sometimes, sitting down and chatting quietly can deepen everyone's feelings. Next to the Artli Gallery is a Japanese Zen-style coffee shop called "Hekou Coffee Shop". Its decoration is extremely simple, with gray-silver wooden frames and white interior walls as the main design tone of the restaurant. The store is full of various Japanese-style decorations, such as wooden tableware, wooden dining tables, and Japanese paper umbrella lamps, creating a quiet and elegant atmosphere. In terms of food, the coffee shop specializes in "fruit pillows" made from fresh Japanese fruits and bread, specialty Japanese festival shaved ice, as well as roasted tea, matcha and other drinks. It is also a good choice to taste delicious food and chat with your loved one here.
Hikari Coffee House
Address: Shop 2 and 2A, Artlane, No.8 Zhongzheng Street West Ring Road.

Station 3, Shawan Path.
After enjoying afternoon tea near sunset, you can head to the Sha Wan Path between Mount Davis and Gangxiang Bay in the southern district of Hong Kong Island. The path surrounds a 180-degree sea view and is known as a hidden spot for sunset photos. Walking with your loved one in the romantic atmosphere under the sunset here is a must-do. At the same time, there are three major photo spots on the Sha Wan Path, including the stone steps that must be passed before entering the path, where you can sit on the steps and take sweet silhouette photos against the yellowish scenery, which will definitely become the most eye-catching highlight of the day! The other two photo spots are the hidden seaside swing at the end of the path and the stone bridge by the sea. With the endless sea view as the background, the composition of the photos taken here is first-class. I believe that ending your day here on this important holiday will become a beautiful memory between you two!
