On the western coast of Lantau Island, Tai O is a unique fishing village known for its stilt houses and tranquil waterways. Often referred to as the "Venice of Hong Kong," Tai O offers a glimpse into a traditional way of life that has persisted despite the city's rapid modernization. The village is famous for its salted fish and shrimp paste, staples that have been produced here for generations. Visitors can join local fishermen on boat tours to witness the traditional fishing methods and perhaps catch a glimpse of the rare pink dolphins that inhabit the surrounding waters.
