5 Creative date ideas that are more than a dinner and movie

Let’s face it – dating in Hong Kong can feel like a never-ending cycle of expensive dinners, movies, and awkward MTR rides home. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Whether you’re swiping right for the first time or celebrating an anniversary, we’ve got you covered with a roundup of date ideas in Hong Kong that go beyond the usual clichés. Think picnics with skyline views, adrenaline-pumping escape rooms, and sunset spots that’ll make you forget your Instagram exists.

They say laughter is the best medicine, so try booking you and your date a stand-up comedy show. Or if you're into something more hands-on, Glazden is a local glass-making workshop in Wan Chai where you can make all sorts of glassware. And if you prefer something a little more low-key, a sunset stroll at Ha Pak Nai or chilling out at East Coast Park Precinct might be your vibe. And if all else fails, there’s always Disneyland – because who doesn’t love a good childhood throwback?

Here are just five creative date ideas to get you started:

1. Venture into the once-forbidden village of Sha Tau Kok
2. Laugh together over stand-up comedy
3. Get hot and steamy at Glazden
4. Watch the sunset at Ha Pak Nai
5. Get lost in an escape room
