Tai O Fishing Port is the earliest fishing village on the island. Since the place is divided into two places by Sanyong, the vertical and horizontal waterways and water sheds have become the unique water town here, so it is known as Hong Kong Venice. Especially the "sheds" built on the water are also a major feature here. More than 2,000 residents, mainly Hakka people. Tai O was a major fishing port and garrison township. Tai O has been a salt-producing area of Hong Kong for more than 100 years. It is still a quiet fishing village. It used to be connected by Heng Shui Ferry and residents shuttled by boat. Tai O City has a lot of temples, set up the emperor temple, from the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the village, the temple placed a 1739 cast bronze bell, the roof is decorated with exquisite ceramic decoration, in addition to the Guandi Temple, there are also Huaxuan and the statue of the god of wealth, Yanghou ancient temple is built to commemorate Yang Hou Wang, after repairs to see more solemn, On the bay opposite the temple there are two stone monuments built in 1902, which were built on the lease of the New Territories when the boundary was surveyed. You can walk along Tai O Road to the 80-year-old Guanyin Temple, which is modeled on the Summer Palace in Beijing. Salted fish and shrimp paste is the most famous aquatic product in Tai O.

    The 360 cable car is very excited for our family to sit together. There are also Tai O food coupons and boat rolls out to sea. When I took the bus to Tai O, I asked many people that they could not find a place to take the boat with the boat coupon. There were not many signs, not very clear. It takes about 5 minutes to walk in and find it. There is another $40 outside for a person to take a boat. Ask them that they won't tell you. It would be better to walk into the village and ask people.

    A very authentic fishing village that’s worth a visit. We took Bus 21 from Ngong Ping (you can pay using your Octopus card) and had lunch in one of the local restaurants. The stilt houses located behind the main tourist street is worth visiting. Also, make sure to try the local snacks, like the “lo mai chi” (glutinous rice balls with various fillings). I enjoyed the peanut sesame one in particular, but all the flavors I tried were quite yummy. You can also take boat tours to see dolphins.

    The scenery is great, it is worth a visit, we catch up with the peak season and the waiting time is longer. It is recommended that other friends can leave early, and the queue time will be much better.
