 1. Time the Trip

Couples who are heading to Hong Kong for a honeymoon should time their visit to coincide with the best climatic conditions. While Hong Kong is promoted as a year-round holiday destination, honeymooners should avoid the rainy months of the year as well as the peak tourist season's crowds by visiting the island during the pleasant autumn season. This falls between the months of October and December and this period is ideal due to the lack of many tourists and the cool, temperate weather conditions prevalent throughout the island. The autumn season is also a budget-friendly time of year as room rates are not high due to the large influx of travellers heading to the country.

 2. Secure a Romantic Resort

As the venue in which couples will be spending a majority of their time during the holiday, selecting the right hotel or resort should be a top priority during the planning process. 5 and 4-star hotels in Hong Kong come in all shapes and sizes and can include city hotels such as the Park Hotel Hong Kong as well as those in the suburbs, outside the heart of the city. Apart from the creature comforts available in its honeymoon suites or guest rooms, couples should also look into what other amenities are available on-site as not every hotel will have its own spa, swimming pool, and gymnasium. The location of the venue is also of great importance as a convenient base will make wining and dining as well as sightseeing a hassle-free experience.

 3. Plan a Beach Day

No honeymoon in Hong Kong would be complete without spending a day or two lounging around on the island's sandy beaches. Tai Long Wan Beach in The Big Waves Bay is not the only option either as Kwun Yam Wan Beach, Turtle Beach and Shek O Beach are all excellent resort hubs lined with beach bars, seafood restaurants, and even cafes and golf courses. Turtle Beach is suitable for diving activities while Kwun Yam Wan Beach also offers kayaking, surfing, and kite surfing activities.

 4. Create a Sightseeing Itinerary

Couples with an interest in the island's history and local cultural heritage should also plan visits to some of its main tourist attractions including the iconic Wong Tai Sin Temple. Occupying pride of place in Kowloon, the temple's Nine Dragons Wall, Three-Saint Hall, and the Taoist temple are its main points of interest. Other cultural hotspots couples can tour include the Man Mo Temple and the Po Lin Monastery while Sha Tin's Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery is another awe-inspiring local landmark worthy of exploration.

 5. Pencil in a Day at the Theme Parks

Hong Kong Disneyland is a reason most travellers head to the country in the first place and honeymooners can also enjoy the many rollercoasters, rides, and Disney-themed attractions at this globally renowned theme park during their holiday together. Open from 10.30 am to 9 pm, Hong Kong Disneyland is home to some of the most magical and romantic castles and enclosures in the country while theme park fans can take a cable car ride to Entertaining Ocean Park as well.

 6. Sign Up for a Cruise

There's nothing like cruising on a Chinese Junk Boat to signal the beginning of the end of your honeymoon in Hong Kong. Available through a plethora of tour operators, this one-of-a-kind cruise allows couples to enjoy great food while watching the sunset over the island's harbourside landmarks.
