Following the adventurous journey of the beloved couple in the sensational film, tourists will discover the famous and unique landmarks in Hong Kong.
The film 'Eternal Love,' adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Co Man, is causing a buzz on social media.

Embark on a romantic journey through Hong Kong in the film 'Eternal Love'
The scene lasting over 2 minutes is not just sweet moments of leisure in the city for the two main characters, but also vividly describes many famous landmarks, quickly recognizable by adventurers.
Nathan Road
The main characters start their Hong Kong exploration from the bustling Nathan Road, strolling through stalls and enjoying lively conversations.
Nathan Road is the busiest street on the Kowloon Peninsula, considered the hub of many traditional Chinese goods such as Buddha statues, handicrafts, Jiangxi ceramics, supplements, fashion, cosmetics...
Moreover, you can also find many restaurants and eateries with strong Chinese culinary styles. Nathan Road intersects with the Avenue of Stars, leading straight to Victoria Harbour.
The Peak (Mount Prosperity)
Senh and Tham together took the tram from the foot to the summit of Mount Prosperity to admire the entire scenery of Hong Kong on a sunny day. The two joyfully took stylish selfies on the tram, earning endless praise from netizens for their sweet acting by Chung Han Luong and Duong Yen.
In reality, actress Duong Yen (portraying Senh) also enthusiastically took silly photos with friends in the film crew during breaks. She even snapped a picture of The Peak ticket and checked in on her personal Weibo page.
Victoria Peak, also known as Mount Prosperity, stands as the highest point in Hong Kong. It's so renowned that missing it means only half-exploring this district.
Standing atop the peak, whether day or dusk, visitors can capture stunning photos of skyscrapers and the splendid Victoria Harbour. As the sun sets, its rays reflect off the glass panels of tall buildings and the sea, creating a vibrant golden-orange scene.
Imitating the two main characters, you can purchase tickets for The Peak Tram - the world's steepest funicular railway. It takes only 7 minutes to complete the journey, offering passengers a memorable experience.
The Peak Tram operates from 7 am to midnight, with each trip spaced 10 - 15 minutes apart. Tickets can be purchased with cash or Octopus cards at the ticket counter located on Garden Road.
Steep Staircase at Man Mo Temple
Although not many tourists are aware of this staircase, it has long been famous among photography enthusiasts in Hong Kong. The steep staircase, surrounded by lush greenery amidst houses blending modern and ancient styles, has provided many creative photo angles for photographers.
This spot quickly gets recognized by backpackers, located near Man Mo Temple - a quite famous temple, situated on Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, on Hong Kong Island.
The temple was built in 1847 and was listed as a Grade 1 historic site in 2009. You can take bus number 26 outside Pacific Place to Hollywood Road, then walk in, or take the MTR Central Station or Sheung Wan Station but you'll have to walk a bit.
In the film episode, the affectionate couple strolls hand in hand along the slope; then, they sit together and have heartfelt conversations under the trees. Senh also enthusiastically jumps around and teases her lover.
Star Boulevard
Ending their short 24-hour business trip, Tham and Senh walk side by side on Star Boulevard amidst the romantic and glittering scene of Victoria Harbour as night falls. Occasionally, a Star Ferry glides slowly on the water.
Perhaps there's no need to say much about the fame of this street for tourists. Star Boulevard is not only beautiful due to its excellent location, near the riverbank, on the Kowloon Peninsula side, but also famous for being built to honor the big stars of Hong Kong cinema.
A nearly 500m-long boulevard adorned with 100 stars imprinted with handprints and signatures of famous personalities such as Bruce Lee, Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Louis Koo, Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, Aaron Kwok, and Leon Lai, attracting a large number of tourists daily for photo opportunities. In the evening, there are often stunning light shows from the skyscrapers.
