A Must-Visit Valentine’s Day Destination: 10,000 White Roses Light Up Victoria Harbour

By MOOK Travel Life Network Editorial Team
 
The "Rose Garden of Light," which garnered huge attention in Dongdaemun, Seoul, Korea, will be held in Hong Kong starting February 14. The romantic and spectacular sea of roses will be "planted" along the Hong Kong Central Harbourfront Promenade, lighting up at 6 p.m. every evening and open to the public for free. The exhibition will feature approximately 25,000 LED white roses covering an area of 1,782 square meters, making it larger than the display in Korea.

Each white rose light is made up of an LED bulb and seven layers of petals, is waterproof, and stands about 70 cm to 80 cm tall to create varying heights and visual effects. The dense sea of roses will illuminate the night sky along the Central Harbourfront, allowing visitors to take memorable, romantic photos against the beautiful backdrop of Victoria Harbour.

To match the different romantic atmospheres of Western Valentine’s Day and Chinese Lantern Festival, the exhibition is divided into two parts. The first phase during Valentine’s Day (February 14–16) will be located at the Central and Western District Promenade, allowing visitors to capture romantic moments with the stunning Victoria Harbour view. The second phase during the Lantern Festival (February 20–22) will move to the adjacent Tamar Park, with the backdrop shifting to the bustling central business district of Hong Kong, known for its iconic skyline of skyscrapers. From February 17 to 19, while the flower sea is being relocated, parts of the exhibition will remain open to allow visitors to continue soaking in the romantic ambiance.
