If you're looking for a honeymoon full of indulgence and romance, then Hong Kong could be the perfect location for you.

A honeymoon in Hong Kong gives the honeymoon couple plenty of opportunities for romance as well as adventure. Picturesque Victoria Harbour bustles by day and night and a night time cruise is not only romantic but will take you to a spectacular laser and light show all synchronised to music. A tram ride up the Peak is one of Hong Kong's must do events, the rise up is so steep that the buildings you pass all look like they're leaning. The view from the top though is just amazing. With direct flights from South Africa you could be exploring in just under 14 hours. Visit the outlying islands for even more things to do. Lantau Island is the largest and boasts remote beaches, wilderness trails, monuments and monasteries as well as fantastic attractions. The Giant Buddha has to be seen to be believed. His raised hand delivers a blessing to everyone who visits and a hike up 228 steps will take you up close to him. With so much to see and do, you won't go home disappointed.
