Our hugest, heartfelt congratulations to Durand and Madeline who were engaged at the God of Marriages, Yue Lao, on our tour today in Repulse Bay.

Who is the Matchmaking God?

Yue Lao is the matchmaking god also known as the Old Man under the Moon.  The legend tells that the love of your life is decided from birth and that you are attached to one another by an invisible red string. Traditionally, couples following the Taoist belief, visit Yue Lao to bless their union, or their current relationship. He is holding the ‘Book of Marriages’ which identifies those that have been universally linked together. Some people leave red strings at his statue to represent these ties.

Durand left the ring box on the step – so this is a new Western tradition to continually bless the marriage!

Book here for Chinese New Year, 29th January 2017 – the Year of the Rooster

Thank you to all our valued guests who joined us for this wonderful evening of fun, food and music. We had a blast!

On the menu we had a full Chinese buffet, including a whole roasted pig (see picture above), Year of the Sheep inspired cake-pops and free-flow hospitality. The captain of our luxury yacht also managed to get us a ring-side spot for the astounding 24 minute firework display – the best display of the year and certainly the best position for the evening given the low cloud.

If you would like to join for the cruise next year, please email info@hkgreeters.com or book here #CNY2017. We look forward to welcoming you on board!
