The seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is known as the Chinese Valentine's Day and four couples celebrated the day on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Accompanied by a tightly secured violinist, the men surprised their partners with poetry recitals, dancing and singing.

“I’m still so surprised!” Nicole Ji said.

“I was very excited to be taking part in a romantic Climb on Valentine’s Day, but being serenaded by Kevin at the summit was just magical and a memory I’ll always treasure.

“I can’t believe he kept the secret from me this whole time.”
