Irreversi - Mei Melançon (2010) - Victoria Peak Garden, The Peak

Adam (Ian Bohen) wants to surprise Lynda (Mei Melançon) and takes her to a riding stables where he has hidden an engagement ring amongst the folds of one of the horse's manes. The opening shot shows a signboard that says "The Peak Stable". Of course, this doesn't really exist and the location on screen is the Victoria Peak Garden. It looks a bit different these days because the central flower garden section has been redesigned and the centre of the square now contains a small pavilion.


I also realised (after already publishing this post) that the final funeral service scene was also filmed at the same location. If you go to the right hand side of the above location, that side of the garden serve as the cemetery with some rather not-so-convincing gravestones stuck into the ground - the scene reminded me a bit of the one from Infernal Affairs. The peak in the background is the top of High West.
