The post Top Flower Shops & Florists In Hong Kong For Flower Delivery appeared first on Sassy Hong Kong.

Every winter, Hong Kong enters its year-end holiday ritual: the typhoon rains dry up, cold winds blow in and a city of underpaid 20-somethings frantically seek discount flights to anywhere warmer. By mid-November, my inbox was flooded with HK Express deals to Bali and Phu Quoc, promising paradise for less than a week’s rent. But I always closed the tab before booking, resigned to another grey winter.

Then came the Instagram notification. Gabriel, an older friend I hadn’t spoken to in years, replied to my story, asking about my holiday plans. When I told him I’d be in his hemisphere soon enough (visiting relatives in New York) he told me to stop by San Juan. “Stay for a week at my family’s house,” he offered in his characteristically quippy tone. “You don’t know a good time until you’ve been to Puerto Rico.”

At first, I hesitated. A week with someone I barely knew anymore — plus his family? It felt absurd. But then I considered the white sandy beaches, Gabriel’s lopsided smile and all the bad vacation rom-coms I’d ever seen: the kind where that sort-of friend, sort-of stranger turns out to be The One. This time, I decided, I wouldn’t overthink it. No more saying no to the universe. Minutes later, I booked my flight.

Fast forward two weeks, and I was sliding into the front seat of Gabriel’s car outside Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport. I braced myself for awkwardness, but the drive back to his house felt surprisingly familiar. We talked about his business in Taipei, how I still wanted to write for a living, and how much time had passed since we last saw each other. At one point, he reached over the dashboard, caught a strand of my hair between his fingers, and observed that it was longer now. “In a good way,” he laughed.

It was a simple gesture, but our eyes met for a moment as he returned his hand to the steering wheel, and suddenly it was clear: We’re going to sleep together. It felt inevitable in a way it hadn’t before, when we were friends in ‘real life’ and our five-year age gap felt more stark. Now, looking out his car window, tropical air washing away my typical neurosis, I got the strange impression that my teenage crush was belatedly reciprocated.

By 1am, we finally arrived. Gabriel carried my bag upstairs and showed me the guest room, interspersing quiet commentary: “You can use this towel,” and “Don’t drink the tap water.” Then he said goodnight, and suddenly I was alone. I’m at Gabriel’s house in Puerto Rico, I thought, but it still didn’t feel real. As I drifted to sleep, my mind flashed back to the late nights I’d spent in his apartment in Hong Kong, wishing just once he’d ask me to stay.

The next morning, we went straight to the beach. Gabriel’s best friend was waiting outside and, seeing me, let out a sputtered laugh. As we filed into the car, he said something loudly in Spanish that provoked Gabriel to cuss him out. “Sorry, J doesn’t have my manners,” Gabriel said quickly. When I reminded him I don’t speak Spanish, they exchanged a look, and for the rest of the ride neither spoke any English at all.

The beach did not disappoint. I felt like I had stepped into a postcard — clear blue water with white foamy tips, lines of palm trees and brightly coloured towels scattered across the soft sand. We found a patch of shade, put down our bags and stripped down to our swimwear. J unearthed a six-pack of Medella Light and offered a bottle to me and Gabriel. I refused, pointing to the water. “I’m going to swim first,” I told them. Gabriel got up immediately; J laid back, opened his beer with his teeth and mumbled something in Spanish.

So off Gabriel and I went, walking, then running, into the waves, which crashed around and swelled us further from the shore. It was blue as far as the eye could see. No longer able to stand, I floated on my back in the cool water, feeling like everything in my life had led up to this picture-perfect moment.

“Paradise, right?” Gabriel teased, swimming nearer to me. I wanted to reply with something witty, but got distracted by his proximity — he was so close now that I could feel warmth radiating off his body. Cue the love song, I thought to myself as he leaned in. And then we were kissing; softly at first, then deeply, his arms holing me steady in the waves.

Of course, I’d already rehearsed this scenario on the flight over. My friends teased me mercilessly before I left, saying there was no way we’d remain platonic. I’d laughed it off, but here we were, making out on a perfect beach under the perfect sun on a perfect day. My very own movie moment, replayed a thousand times in my head and now being lived. And yet, the magic feeling I had imagined wasn’t there.

You should be, like, ecstatic right now, I told myself as we swam back to shore, this is literally why you came. But something felt off. It was almost too easy, all of this. I had anticipated more buildup, I guess, or maybe it was our old dynamic that I missed. I wondered, am I so cliché that I only liked Gabriel because he didn’t want me back?

The sun had set by the time we packed our bags and returned to the car. Gabriel and J had another unintelligible Spanish conversation as we drove back, which ended with Gabriel pulling over at a bus stop and J getting out. He said goodbye comically slowly, dapping up Gabriel and winking at me before closing the door. It was clear where the night was headed. The thought didn’t exactly titillate, but who was I to protest fate?

From that moment, everything played out predictably, albeit on 2x speed — radio blasting on the drive home, a quick dinner and a bizarrely silent smoke on his porch. I could sense him working out how to initiate so assiduously that our typical banter seized into strained politeness. In the end, he landed on the wonderfully original: “Want to see my room?”

The sex was over as soon as it began. Gabriel sweatily collapsed onto the bed, his arm slinging over me in an uncomfortable half-hug. “Wow,” he said into my hair, his breath hot. I stared up at the ceiling fan and watched it turn for several weighted seconds, then mustered up an unenthusiastic “yeah.” This is why you don’t fuck your friends, I thought before wriggling out from under him and pulling on my clothes.

Gabriel, who I had always known as all-charm, seemed deflated by my lack of post-sex adoration. He coughed awkwardly, redressed and began to relay our plans for the rest of the night — dancing with some friends, maybe a late night snack. “The clubs here are the best, seriously, there’s this DJ…” he went on and on.

I wondered, am I the worst person in the world? Here I was, staying for free in this beautiful city, with an old friend acting as chauffeur and tour guide. He organised itineraries for every day I was there; planned to introduce me to all his friends; wasn’t letting me pay for anything. All I had to do was pretend to enjoy sleeping with him. Even this I couldn’t manage. It wasn’t supposed to feel like this, I thought.

The truth was, I had underestimated the delusion that predicated my holiday fantasy. I just want to lie on a beach, I told myself. “Plus, I might end up falling in love and having the best week of my life” was the unspoken second clause. But I had successfully convinced myself that, in this foreign land, I would emerge as A Very Chill Girl — one who totally never projects fantasies and expectations onto unwitting friends.

Was it so bad that I wanted to escape my routine and responsibilities, at least for a brief tropical moment? No, I suppose we all do. But as the weather cools and the sun creepingly begins to set earlier, I remind myself that my dream life isn’t waiting underneath a palm tree on the other side of the horizon, Medella in hand.

Shing Wong Street In Sheung Wan

There’s an undeniable charm to Shing Wong Street that’s hard to put into words – you have to see it to feel it! The iconic green-grilled windows from Tong Lau building, the alluring street art and the overall chill neighbourhood often makes us forget we’re in Hong Kong.

Chun Yeung Street Market In North Point

We love our ding-dings, but risking our lives by standing in the middle of a road to snap a picture-perfect shot? We wouldn’t recommend it… unless you’re at Chun Yeung Street Market! While it’s still to keep an eye out for any oncoming traffic, the tram is usually at a much slower pace on this road as it’s a bustling street market. Along with tram shots, snaps of butchers and busy commuters encapsulate the neighbourhood of North Point.

Lok Wah Estate In Ngau Tau Kok

Famed for its blue circular cut-outs, Lok Wah Estate may not be a new name in the Insta-game but it’s still worth a mention!

To get the perfect shot, it’s worth making your journey on a sunny day as the shadows create stripes on the circular cut-outs!

How to get there: Hop on minibus route 22A near Exit A of Ngau Tau Kok MTR Station and alight at Lok Wah South Estate.

Garden Hill In Sham Shui Po

A quick hike but make it Insta-worthy! Garden Hill often does not fall in to your radar when it comes to a Kowloon hike (we can’t blame Lion Rock for taking the limelight!) but this short trail will surprise you. We’d suggest going on a weekday if you want shots along the way to the top – it’s a narrow flight of stairs.

How to get there: Nearest MTR Station – Sham Shui Po, Exit D2, walk all the way to the end of Kweilin Street

Fa Yuen Street In Mong Kok

Located between Boundary Street and Dundas Street in Mong Kok, Fa Yuen Street has over 50 stores selling sport shoes – hence the nickname Sneaker Street. The real steal is to shoot this street from the overhead footbridge connecting Mong Kok to Mong Kok East. And fret not if it’s a rainy day, the puddles and reflective rainy ground definitely adds more character!

How to get there: Get off Mong Kok Exit B3 and go up the foot bridge that’s signposting Mong Kok East Station, there will be a flight of stairs descending to Fa Yuen Street.

Pineapple Dam In Tsuen Wan

One question, how rare is it to see sky high trees in Hong Kong? While it’s no Amazon rainforest, the Pineapple Dam is no less of free nature therapy and also a great spot to shoot nature landscapes in Hong Kong. A brisk walk that’s suitable for people of all ages, one of the most ‘Grammed spots on the trail is the Shing Mun reservoir creek, which is easy to spot as a separate set of stairs descending on the side of the trail.

How to get there: From Tsuen Wan MTR Exit E, walk over to Chung On Street and take minibus route 82, it’ll take you straight to the starting point of Pineapple Dam.

Sassy Tip: Go during high tide to snap an unseen photo of what Hong Kong has to offer!

Tsing Yi Estate Basketball Court

The newly-renovated rooftop basketball court is what everyone’s talking about! The Hennessey x NBA (their first-ever project of its kind in Asia), brought together local artists from HK Walls, the People’s Place and Hong Kong-based street artist TAXA. Get your drones ready for this one!

How to get there: From Tsing Yi Swimming Pool, walk through Tsing Yi Park to get to Tsing Yi Estate, it should roughly take 10 minutes to reach.

Shun Sum Yuen Farm In San Tin

An Instagram hotspot for the flora lovers, the sunflower field is loved for all the right reasons! Also, keep your eyes peeled for themed-installations around festival seasons where they also import flowers from Europe to add more colour to the farm (which means more shots for us!).

How to get there: Get off Exit G2 at Yuen Long Station and take KMB bus route 76K or minibus route 17 and get off at Shek Wu Wai. The farm is a five-minute walk away from here.

Ping Yeung White Fields In Tai Po

If you’re very serious on venturing far and beyond to a little-known Insta-spot in Hong Kong, the trip to Ta Kwu Ling will be worth your time. While the vicinity itself is Insta-worthy everywhere you turn (low-rise houses at villages always get us!), the white fields at Ping Yeung are especially popular for wedding photoshoots! It goes without saying that the best shots are taken during golden hour when the white field gives off a warm hue.

How to get there: From Sheung Shui Station, take Exit A3 and head to towards the post office. Then take bus route 79K towards Ta Kwu Ling Police Station and get off at Ping Yuen Road. Walk past Ping Yeung village and continue along Ping Yeung Road to reach the pavilion with the white field.

Sassy Tip: Wear trousers or bring insect repellent if you’re prone to bites.

Rooster Ridge In Yuen Long

We’re wiling to break a sweat to be greeted by sweeping views (unless it’s boiling hot and humid out!), not only does it look lush on our feed, there’s a greater sense of accomplishment knowing you’ve conquered a summit. If you’d like to skip mainstream hikes that get crowded easily, we suggest tackling Rooster Ridge in the New Territories. On a clear day, you can see the skyline of Shenzhen, with Tai Mo Shan, Pat Sing Leng and even Castle Peak towering in the background. It’s quite a strenous trail with no shade and endless steps but the velvety texture of the ridge makes this one a unique spot.

How to get there: From Yuen Long Station Exit G1, walk to Long Yat Road for the Yuen Long Station (North) Public Transport Interchange. From here, take minibus 603 and alight at the basketball court at Fung Kat Heung Road, the starting point is a couple minutes away.

Looking to give back over Christmas and the holidays? As the festive season approaches, help to spread holiday cheer while supporting our local community. From volunteering at food banks and backing charity initiatives to fostering a furry friend or simply shopping for stocking fillers at local homegrown businesses, here are just a few ways that you can get involved and do your bit for the city.

Shop Local

The strain of Hong Kong’s fast-moving shopping industry has hit even the biggest, most prominent brands (how many closures can you count — we know we’ve lost some of our favourite outposts over the past couple of years!). So it’s no surprise that smaller businesses struggle to recover losses and stay afloat. That’s why it’s so important to band together and show support for homegrown local businesses!

Shopping online, especially on big brand marketplaces, can feel easy and the lure of free shipping is always a bonus — but we believe in Hong Kong retailers! Not only is shopping locally a great way to give back to the community, it’s also a surefire way to avoid the unethical practices of fast fashion.

Whether you’re looking for stocking fillers, beauty gifts, something festive, or a trinket that doubles as an ode to #homekong — local brands (including sustainable fashion brands!) stock it all! Plus, you can always give restaurant gift cards, boutique homeware vouchers and passes to Hong Kong’s health and wellness scene to boost local businesses’ revenue this year.

Volunteer Your Time

We’re not always in a position where we can lend monetary help but lending our time this holiday season makes a huge difference too. Many charitable organisations and initiatives in Hong Kong truly benefit from an extra pair of hands. Aside from time, cause-driven organisations are often looking for people to support with marketing, design, legal work, education, translation, event management and fundraising.

Check out this comprehensive list of inspiring, worthwhile charities and organisations that may need a little extra assistance this time of year.

Donate Food And Hygiene Supplies

A 2025 survey by the The Chinese University of Hong Kong indicates that 70.1% of residents see wealth disparity as serious, an increase from last year, with 80.7% wanting more government action. Food often becomes the last priority for the underprivileged, with expenses such as rent, transportation, medical bills and education taking priority.

Reduce food waste by supporting local charities striving to feed Hong Kong — it’s a win-win! Perhaps you stocked up on cans earlier in the year or were gifted too many Christmas treats. Whatever it may be, various organisations are working tirelessly throughout the year to collect, sort, store and redistribute surplus food items to those in need.

Feeding Hong Kong runs its annual Santa Sack Food Drive calling for essential food items like rice, noodles, cooking oil and canned food, which are in high demand in the community — to make its Festive Food Parcels, which can support 10 extra meals for a two-person family.

Orbis

Society for Community Organization

Since 2004, the Society for Community Organization has recruited community members as Santa Claus through the Santa Project to deliver Christmas gifts to needy grassroots children. The Christmas wishes of nearly 3,000 poor children this year were mostly for the necessities of life and learning, such as black shoes and white sneakers for school, school bags, books, quilts and sports equipment. With an average cost of $250 per gift, children receive essential items for their daily lives and education, fostering a sense of hope and happiness during the holiday season.

Box of Hope

Box of Hope’s mission is to give a child in extreme poverty the chance to experience the joy of receiving a gift. To support this, schools, businesses and individuals all over Hong Kong (including Team Sassy!) actively get involved each year to put together special boxes of toys and personal items (such as toothbrushes and soap) that will then be distributed over the festive period. Its 2025 campaign is complete, but this is a good one to keep in mind for early November next year!

Operation Santa Claus

Operation Santa Claus is an annual fundraising campaign jointly organised by the South China Morning Post and RTHK which hosts a variety of events in aid of select beneficiaries. Last year’s fundraising Christmas events include charity auctions, workout sessions, street fairs, pre-loved designer wear pop-ups and more. The campaign also accepts direct donations through its website. Until Wednesday, 31 December, 2025, all proceeds will go to those affected by the Tai Po fire tragedy.

Foster A Furry Friend For The Holidays

Animal rescue shelters are always looking for people who can foster and relieve some of the pressure off kennels and shelters, giving them space for another dog or cat while you help your furry friends actively socialise!

There is no shortage of charities to choose from — our sister site Sassy Mama Hong Kong has a great list of animal charities and rescue organisations. If you’re interested, be sure to get in touch and ask any questions before filling out a standard questionnaire. Warning: exposure to belly rubs, wet noses and slobbery chops could result in long-term adoption (welcome to the ‘foster fail’ family!).

Bear in mind that you may not be able to specify which cat or dog you would like to foster, and it will heavily depend on the individual needs of the animal (as well as the space you have available for that breed).

Already adopted a rescue? Consider changing your pup’s food brand to one that gives back to shelters in Hong Kong. For every 2kg ordered, dog food subscription service Buddy Bites donates 1kg to its shelter partners! Consult your veterinarian first regarding allergy or food intolerance concerns.

Give The Gift Of Giving

Charitable Choice

Gift a charity eGift Card with Charitable Choice, where your recipient chooses the charity! You’ll just need two minutes to log on and select your gift card design, the value intended (from $100 to $5,000) and the recipient’s address details. Once it arrives in the post, they’ll be able to choose which initiative or charity they would like to support with the money (or you can also select an organisation on their behalf). You can also send a couple of pre-loaded cards to yourself. This year many of the charities will be donating proceeds to those affected by the Tai Po fires.

Twopresents

A Hong Kong-based online social enterprise, Twopresents allows you to invite others to contribute towards a gift fund, of which a percentage will be donated to a charity of your choice. View the charities here.

Make A Blood Donation

One single blood donation can save the lives of three or more people. If you’re in good health, weigh over 41kg and are over the age of 16 (and below 66), this guide is here to help you navigate all the specifics — like what to expect and where to go.

Hong Kong Red Cross has a daily target of 650 donations per day and the Blood Transfusion Service is doing all it can to ensure blood safety and the safety of those donating.

The art of sexual wellness boils down to being creative, staying curious and not just sticking to the same old tried-and-tested routine. Furniture can be your friend when it comes to spicing up your sex life — think kitchen sinks, countertops, walls and mirrors, which can breathe new life into an old position. You can even buy custom-built sex furniture (made with comfy, easy-to-clean materials), to make certain positions more accessible and pleasurable. And if you’ve always wanted to try bona fide sexual acrobatics, then a sex swing will enable you to defy gravity without breaking a sweat. Or throw a sex toy into the mix. Something like a roll of bondage tape or a hands-free couples vibrator will take your sex position to the next level.

Read More: How Can I Have More Intense Orgasms?

The Best Sex Position To: Maximise Female Pleasure

Let me start with a statistic that might surprise you. Only 25% of women consistently orgasm from vaginal intercourse alone. So it makes sense to kick things off with an oral sex position, because women are more likely to orgasm from a talented tongue on their clitoris than through penetration.

Try this upgrade from the standard, spread-eagled oral sex position. Have your lover position themselves perpendicular to your hip, so their tongue is going side to side across your clitoral hood, as opposed to up and down in more of a ‘head on’ front-facing position. This is called The Kivin Method, which claims to produce a faster and more intense orgasm for women.

Now let’s talk intercourse positions. To maximise female pleasure, I’ve found it’s usually the simplest positions with a couple of tweaks that work best. The Modified Missionary where you draw your knees up towards your chest or bring your legs up to wrap around your lover’s waist will elevate the pubic bone more than traditional Missionary, making it easier to get that clitoral stimulation.

Think about incorporating more of a grinding action, as opposed to just thrusting, to ensure more direct contact with the clitoris. For deeper penetration and G-spot stimulation, lift one leg and rest it on your thrusting partner’s shoulder. The other leg can be placed around your lover’s thigh, like you would for standard Missionary. This is called the Praying Mantis position. It’s easy for your partner to also lend a ‘helping hand’ to stimulate your clitoris in this position too.

The Best Sex Position To: Drive My Partner Wild

If you know what body part really drives your partner wild, then choose sex positions that visually accentuate those parts. If you have a “butt person” in the bedroom with you, then try the Reverse Cowgirl, a position which puts the woman on top, but facing towards her lover’s feet. Or experiment with Bent Over Doggy-style, also known as the Turtle position. Start off on all fours in the traditional table-top position, then bend your head and shoulders to rest them on the bed, while keeping your bum in the air. You can wrap your arms around your legs to help lean further forward and provide balance.

If it’s breasts your lover goes crazy for, then something like a classic Woman On Top where you can lean over to allow your breasts to drop oh-so-sensually into your partner’s mouth works well. For added intensity in these positions, make sure other erogenous zones on the body get attention too. If there’s hair that needs grabbing, ears that need nibbling or nipples that need sucking, you know what to do. Or let your primal side take over, and wrestle, bite or claw your way to a screaming climax in any position.

Read More: My First Threesome — What I Learned

The Best Sex Position To: Feel Close And Intimate

If you’re feeling frisky in the morning, Spooning – a position in which both you and your partner are laying down on your side facing the same direction – is a great way to start your day for hetero, same-sex and gender-nonconforming couples. It can also be modified with endless variations based on your preferences. Whether you’re after some gentle clitoral stimulation or a little backdoor action, this position has you covered.

For slow, sensual, energetic lovemaking and intimacy, The Lotus position (also known as Yab-Yum from the Tantric tradition), is my go-to. Have your lover sit with crossed legs on the bed, with you sitting on top of their lap. Usually it makes most sense for the lighter partner to sit on the heavier partner’s lap, and wrap their legs and arms around the other person in a passionate embrace.

This is a great position for kissing and looking deep into each other’s eyes. Some couples even join their foreheads together to connect their ‘third eyes’ and share sexual energy, appreciating each other’s presence to the fullest. As you have sex in the Yab-Yum position, try to breathe deeply together and see if you can synchronise a few breaths, while grinding and rocking your way back and forth to ecstatic bliss.

Is There A ‘Best Overall’ Sex Position?

The short answer is no. We all have unique strengths, flexibilities, shapes and sizes, and we all fit together differently. So, the sex positions mentioned above won’t work for everyone. Instead, use them as a guide, play with them, modify them and create your own versions. Then you can name them as enigmatically as you want!
