Fishing Village

A visit to Tai O, a unique and the only fishing village remains in Hong Kong. It was an interesting day trip. Tai O known as the Venice of Hong Kong as the area is completely inundated with water. The first thing you will see upon entering Tai O is a steel footbridge. Before the bridge was built, traveling from one shore to the other was by the old rope ferry. It may be interesting for tourists to take a ride of the rope ferry, but it was very inconvenient for people living here.

Tai O has kept on much of its old character, dried fish stalls, old temples and stilt houses. The stilt houses are situated so closely to one another and near the water. We could see inside their homes. It was quite strange to walk past the people as they sat outside eating or drinking and hanging their washing up. I suggest you guys to take a boat ride, you will see much more...haha. Tai O is a loverly fishing village and I recommend everyone come to feel it.

How to get to Tai O? It is really easy. Take the ferry at Central to Mui Wo. Then you can take bus No.1 which terminates in Tai O. Or take bus No.11 in Tung Chung MTR station.
