According to AsiaOne, the actress took to Instagram to share snapshots of her vacation, which took place earlier this month. Among her posts are photos showing her enjoying the sun by the poolside in a chic black bikini and stylish mesh cover-up.

"Smiles are little rays of sunshine that brighten lives," she wrote in the caption.

Other photos shared by the actress show that her companions include her close friends, also familiar faces from the Hong Kong entertainment industry such as actresses Janet Chow, Angela Tong, Toby Leung, Annie Man, Sherming Yiu, and Margaret Chung. Together, the group of friends have been playfully dubbed the "seven demonesses" by local media, a nickname that has resonated across social media.

Sheh, 49, started her entertainment career as the first runner-up in the Miss Hong Kong pageant in 1997 and quickly rose to prominence with TVB, appearing in popular series like "War and Beauty," "Beyond the Realm of Conscience," and "Forensic Heroes."

After leaving TVB in 2016, she founded Charmaine Sheh Workshop Limited and expanded her acting pursuits in China, earning accolades for her role in the 2018 series "Story of Yanxi Palace."

In 2023, Sheh returned to TVB, featuring in "The Queen of News" and securing her third Best Actress award at the TVB Awards.
