HONG KONG A HONEYMOON HAVEN FOR NEWLYWEDS

  

Sixteen couples who have come from Shanghai to Hong Kong for a special five-day tour 28 October attended a grand wedding ceremony at the Golden Bauhinia Plaza outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai.

The newlyweds have joined the “Rose Wedding Package Tour” organised by the Hong Kong Tourist Association (HKTA) and Shanghai Municipality Luwan District Tourism Administrative Office.  The tour highlights to prospective Mainland brides and grooms all the excitement and romance that the City of Life has to offer.

The “Rose Wedding” programme — now in its third year — was launched by the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government Tourism Administrative Commission and the Shanghai Luwan District Government and has become a trendy event for young lovers from Mainland China’s second largest city and one Hong Kong most important tourism markets.  This year, for the first time, “Rose Wedding” couples flew to Hong Kong for the time of their lives.

Under the HKTA’s arrangements, the 16 couples attended a spectacular afternoon wedding ceremony at the Golden Bauhinia Plaza.  The radiant brides posed proudly in western-style gowns alongside their new husbands, against a panoramic harbour backdrop.   A grand banquet will be held this evening at the Concourse Hotel in Kowloon to allow friends and relatives to share their joy.

The five-day itinerary provides plenty of opportunities for these young lovers to experience the romantic side of the City of Life, pledging their devotion in the moonlight at The Peak or during a cruise the picturesque Victoria Harbour.  They will also enjoy a visit to Ocean Park, Wong Tai Temple, Hong Kong Park and get the chance to take pictures by the Tsing Ma Bridge, the world’s longest road and rail suspension bridge.

The Rose Wedding Package Tour is sponsored and supported by the China Travel Service Shanghai, Hong Kong Dragon Airlines, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, Shanghai Rose Wedding Formality Culture Development Ltd and China Travel (HK & Macau Tour) Management HK Limited.
