Joining a global initiative, the city’s hotels turned off their room lights on the evening of 2 April 2020, from 6:30 pm onwards, illuminating windows on their facades to create the symbol of love – with the aim to inspire hope through a simple, yet powerful, visual communication.
Residents, who had spotted the heart shapes across the city’s sky, took pictures from their balconies and windows and shared them on their social media in support of the city they call home.
