A Travel Guide to Hello, Love, Again’s Iconic Filming Locations

Fresh off her stunning appearance at the ABS-CBN Ball, Kathryn Bernardo proved yet again why she’s one of the brightest stars of her generation. But her impact goes far beyond the red carpet. Together with Alden Richards, she returned to the big screen in Hello, Love, Again — now officially the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time.

More than just a sequel to Hello, Love, Goodbye, this film gave us major feels and serious wanderlust. From the calming charm of Calgary to familiar corners of Hong Kong, the story of Joy and Ethan continues — and so does our travel bucket list.

This time around, Joy isn’t chasing dreams in Hong Kong — she’s building a new life in Calgary. The film captures both the warmth and the emotional isolation that can come from starting over in a quiet, foreign city. Downtown Calgary gives a modern yet laid-back vibe, echoing the characters’ more grown-up energy.

What to See: Stephen Avenue and its surroundings are shown in several scenes. The area’s open layout, glass buildings, and public art make it the perfect blend of urban cool and reflective calm.

One of the most memorable new settings is Fenyk Coffee & Social. It’s where some key conversations happen — those quiet but emotionally charged ones. The ambiance of the café adds a layer of intimacy and sincerity to every scene it’s in.

Why Visit: Fenyk isn’t just a coffee shop; it’s a symbol of the small, safe spaces Joy finds as she starts rebuilding her life. Cozy interiors, great coffee, and local charm make it a worthy stop even if you’re not chasing a film location.

Mong Kok, Hong Kong : The “Joy Is Here”

A callback to the first movie, this location hits hard with nostalgia. Remember that railing where Joy scribbled her name? That unforgettable “Joy is here” moment was shot on the rooftop of the King Hing Building in Mong Kok, Kowloon — one of the densest, most visually iconic districts in Hong Kong.

Why It Matters: This scene quietly represents Joy’s inner world — her need to leave a mark, even when no one’s looking. For fans retracing her journey, this spot is a must.

Everyday Streets : The Spaces In Between

Not every scene happens in a tourist hotspot. Some of the most touching moments unfold on quiet sidewalks, in modest apartments, or while walking through empty streets at night. These scenes add authenticity and show how ordinary places can carry extraordinary memories.

Takeaway: Sometimes, it’s not about the postcard-perfect locations. It’s the feeling you bring into them. The film nails this idea — that life-changing moments often happen in the most unassuming places.
