Not France, but Hong Kong | A classic date spot in Repulse Bay.

Leave the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong and follow the winding mountain road to The Verandah in Repulse Bay. The Verandah was formerly the Repulse Bay Hotel and was the filming location for the movie adaptation of Eileen Chang's novel, Love in a Fallen City. The main characters, Fan Liu Yuan and Bai Liu Su, met here and fell in love, making it a very romantic spot. Unlike the hustle and bustle of the city, The Verandah is filled with a quiet atmosphere, giving the illusion of being in a holiday resort in the South of France and the symmetrical aesthetics of Wes Anderson. Enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace of the restaurant, which was transformed from a building built in 1921, and you'll feel like you're in a scene from one of Eileen Chang's novels. 📍The Verandah, Repulse Bay. Take bus 6/6X/260 from Admiralty.
