A South Korean art installation of 25,000 LED roses is lighting up against the stunning backdrop of Victoria Harbour.
Light Rose Garden‘s tenure in Hong Kong has been carefully scheduled to open on Valentine’s Day, and end on Feb. 22, the day on which the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival falls this year.
The art installation, which is sure to de-light snap happy Hongkongers, will light up at 6pm on the dot every day until the 22nd. Every three square metres is packed with 25 roses, and no inch goes to waste – this is Hong Kong, after all.
Organiser Jung Yong Jin, told AP that he created the garden so that “families, friends and lovers” would come out to public parks at night.
After the installation’s debut in Seoul, Hong Kong is the first stop on what the romantic folks behind Light Rose Garden hope will be an international tour “to spread their light around the world.”
Singaporean Coconauts will be the next to receive this rather bright bouquet after its exhibition in Hong Kong draws to a close later this month.
