Tai O's 'Water Village Charm'

Tai O is a famous fishing village in Hong Kong, often referred to as the 'Venice of Hong Kong'. It's a great place for a relaxing getaway. Located on Lantau Island, it can be reached directly by ferry from the city or by taking bus number 11 from Tung Chung. The most famous feature of Tai O is its stilt houses, which showcase the local characteristics and are unique to Hong Kong. Nowadays, there are very few stilt houses left, but you can still see the water village lifestyle. Unlike the bustling city center of Hong Kong, Tai O has no high-rise buildings or busy commercial areas. It offers a serene and simple atmosphere, making it a quaint fishing village with beautiful scenery. Besides the famous stilt houses, Tai O has many other attractions worth visiting. You can leisurely explore the traditional village, take a boat ride to see the boat houses, and experience the fishing village lifestyle. Tai O also offers a variety of local delicacies, especially seafood and fish sauces. Time seems to slow down here, offering a taste of Hong Kong that is completely different from the city. The locals are very friendly, making it a great place to spend half a day strolling around and breathing in the fresh air of the countryside.
