Afternoon tea, as it was meant to be.
Born at The Langham, perfected over time—now served with timeless elegance. ☕✨
.
📍 @langhamhk Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong 🇭🇰
.
DID YOU KNOW:
Afternoon tea 🫖 is a classic British 🇬🇧 tradition with roots in the early 19th century but it all began as a simple solution to hunger!
.
👸🏻 It’s widely credited to Anna, Duchess of Bedford, a close friend of Queen Victoria. Around the 1840s, she found the long gap between lunch and the late evening dinner unbearable, so she began requesting tea, bread, butter, and cakes in the afternoon. 🫖 🍰 🥪
.
What started as a private habit quickly became a social event. ✨The Duchess began inviting friends to join her, turning it into a fashionable gathering among the upper classes of Britain. 🥂
.
As the tradition grew, luxury hotels helped popularize and formalize it. The iconic The Langham London played a major role—it was the first hotel to serve afternoon tea publicly, helping transform it into the elegant ritual we know today. 💁🏻♀️
.
By the late 19th century, afternoon tea had become a symbol of sophistication, complete with fine china, finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries. 🤩
.
Today, it remains a beloved experience around the world—part indulgence, part tradition, and entirely timeless. ☕🍰
.
Have you tried afternoon tea yet? 😉

Can you guess the brand colour of this hotel? 😉
.
Classic British heritage in China’s futuristic city ✨
.
The Langham, Shenzhen — part of The Langham Hotels & Resorts, a prestigious brand born in London in 1865, renowned for refined elegance, impeccable service, and iconic pink touches, brings timeless charm to the heart of Shenzhen, China’s high-tech megacity and global innovation hub. Surrounded by soaring skyscrapers, tech giants, and smart-city energy, it’s a refined retreat in one of the world’s fastest-growing cities 🏙️💗
.
Shenzhen is often referred to as the Silicon Valley of China. Back in the 1980s the city quickly transformed from a traditional fishing village to a modern, fast-paced metropolis now known worldwide as a leading global technology, manufacturing, and financial hub. It’s a great place to come tech shopping and thanks to its proximity to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 & Macau 🇲🇴 it is super easy to combine the 3 destinations in one trip!
.
🏨 Pro tip: Base yourself in the Futian district for fast & easy connection to Hong Kong. Futian is Shenzhen’s dynamic commercial, shopping and entertainment district and this is also where you will find @thelanghamshenzhen
.
🌆🤩 Don’t miss the Shenzhen Light Show; it’s a spectacular nightly display at the Civic Center in Futian, where over 40 skyscrapers use 1.18 million LEDs to create synchronized music-and-light performances, showcasing the city’s development. Shows run on weekends and holidays (three times) and other nights (twice), usually at 7/8/9 PM (Nov-Mar) or 7:30/8:30/9:30 PM (Apr-Oct). I’ve never seen anything like this! 🤩 Reservations may be required via WeChat

🇹🇼 (PL ⤵️) Taipei 101 is without a doubt Taiwan’s most recognizable building 🤩 It actually once held the title of world’s tallest building (508 m!) before Burj Khalifa was build. It is shaped like a stack of lucky bamboo, symbolizing growth and prosperity. Inside? A 660-ton tuned mass damper — a giant golden sphere that keeps the tower steady during typhoons and earthquakes.
Iconic, resilient, and absolutely unforgettable 🏙️
. 📸 If you’re planing on visiting Taipei, make sure you save this location for one of the most unique views of Taipei 101!
.
🏮 The street with red lanterns and a direct, unobstructed view of Taipei 101 is Lane 253, Songren Road (often referred to as the Takemura Izakaya spot) in the Xinyi District. To find it, take the MRT Red Line to Xiangshan Station (Exit 2), walk toward Songren Road, and turn into the alley near Takemura Izakaya and voila! Iconic day & night! 🤩
.
🇹🇼 So is Taiwan on your travel list? 🤩
.
🇵🇱 Taipei 101 to bez wątpienia najbardziej rozpoznawalny budynek na Tajwanie 🤩 Przed wybudowaniem Burj Khalifa w Dubaju, nosil nawet tytuł najwyższego budynku na świecie (508 m!). Ksztaltem przypomina lodyge bambusa, symbolizujac wzrost i dobrobyt.
. 📸 Jeśli planujesz odwiedzić Tajpej, koniecznie zapisz te lokalizacje, aby zobaczyć jeden z najbardziej klimatycznych widoków na Tajpej 101!
.
🏮 Ulica z czerwonymi latarniami to Lane 253, Songren Road w dzielnicy Xinyi. Aby tu dotrzec jedź czerwoną linią MRT do stacji Xiangshan (wyjście 2), idź w stronę Songren Road, skręć w alejkę w pobliżu knajpki Takemura Izakaya i voila! Kultowy widok w dzień i noc! 🤩
