Hong Kong is lighting up with love, with innumerable roses made from sparkling LED lights adorning one of the city's most symbolic landmarks.

HK lighting up with love for Lantern Festival 

With Hong Kong's skyline in the background, here is a sea of roses, 25,000 whites roses lighting up Victoria Harbor. 

From 6pm 'til 11pm every evening, the Light Rose Garden makes for a magnificent vista.

The installation was first displayed in Seoul, South Korea in October, 2014. But now, its creative team, PANCOM, is planning for roses to blossom all over the world, with Hong Kong as the first destination.

This exhibition, curated by SK Lam, will last about 9 days.

"It's our honor to have about 80 volunteers help us to plant these in just 3 days, and we really want to spread the love to society," said Lam.

The team spent six months preparing, making several trips to Hong Kong before eventually placing all of these.

Young couples Ho Yin and Gil Gil placed their picture in the Rose Garden, saying "Love is the word we say everyday".

Kelvin and Frankie want to empower the gay community without challenging the traditions of marriage or overthrowing religious creeds.

Ni Kuang and his wife Li Guozhen have kept their wedding vows for more than half a century.

And there are even a couple of loving cats.

Love is just everywhere, it seems.
