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
