Korean stars are heating up the scene — aside from the Korea Tourism Organization enlisting popular actor Lee Jong-suk to promote South Korea, a global travel search engine has also invited actor Kang Ha-neul to take fans on a tour of Hong Kong. From a “girlfriend’s perspective,” he explores the city’s streets and alleys, sampling authentic local dim sum and enjoying traditional yum cha, as well as trying unique experiences like making his own ring. There’s even a heart-melting moment when the oppa gently wipes the actress’s mouth on screen, winning over fans everywhere.

Before enlisting in the military, Korean actor Kang Ha-neul, in his role as the KAYAK Asia ambassador, was invited to visit Hong Kong secretly to shoot a promotional short film. Recently released, the approximately 130-second video feels like a romantic date with fans, showcasing his favorite spots and delicacies in Hong Kong.

Beyond the vibrant nightlife and skyscrapers that amaze foreigners, Kang Ha-neul especially recommends the Peak Tram for escaping the hustle and bustle. Take the tram up to The Peak in the morning, stroll along the Peak Circle Walk, and for the best views, be sure to sit on the right side of the tram.

And if you want to win someone’s heart, start by winning over their stomach. Head to the award-winning Furama Hong Kong’s Furama Cantonese Restaurant, where you can savor famous dishes such as honey-glazed char siu, braised fish lips, and goose web.

Additionally, in the PoHo area and PMQ Yuan Art Space, you’ll find plenty of interesting designs and small gifts. For example, at Obellery Jewellery Gallery, you can make your own silver ring as a memento of your trip to Hong Kong. Finally, during the magic hour at sunset at Central Harbourfront, you can capture the most beautiful evening skies and fully enjoy a relaxing getaway.
