Tai O Review

Tai O Island, known as Venice of Hong Kong, is located in the western part of Lantau, New Territories. It is a place far from Hong Kong's urban life, but it really exists in Hong Kong. Because Tai'ao is less affected by urbanization on the outlying islands, it still retains the appearance of early Hong Kong fishing villages. The most distinctive feature is the elevated houses - shacks where the local people live. The wooden pillars were inserted into the water, and the house was built on the basis of the wooden pillars. I don't know what kind of wood is made of. After soaking in the water for so long, I can see something like shells attached to the pillars near the water surface. There is a small museum in Da'ao. It can see which tools fishermen used to catch fish. It is very historical, but there is no explanation in it. You can only taste and feel it by yourself. It is suggested that we try our best to walk inside. We can see that some corridors are made of wood. They should be made of the same material as shacks. Only one person can walk through the wooden corridors in front of the doors. There, we can feel the local fishermen's life. There is no need for tickets in Tai'ao Fishing Village. But it is far from Hong Kong Island. It took me two estimates to go to Tai'ao Fishing Village from Hong Kong Station. An hour. One place to buy tickets is to go to sea to see the Chinese white dolphins. The fare is HK$20. The fisherman will tell you where to look and the dolphins disappear in a twinkling of an eye, but many times in good weather, the dolphins jump from the sea to the sea again. [Transportation] 1. Take the MTR Tung Chung Line to the terminal Tung Chung, and then come out and take Bus No. 11 to Da'ao. When you come back, you can also go to Dongyi in Tung Chung and take the MTR Tung Chung Line to Tung Chung at the terminal, and then come out and take Bus No. 11 to Da'ao. When you come back, you can also go to Dongyicheng shopping in Tung Chung, where the discount is relatively large. (This is my route) 2. Take bus B3 to Tuen Mun Pier after crossing the Customs at Shenzhen Bay, and get to Da O Pier directly by boat. It only takes about an hour to get from Tuen Mun to Da O by boat. (This is a friend's route)[Diet] Da'ao's specialty is seafood. The local salted fish, shrimp sauce, shrimp paste and fish belly are very famous. The local people in Hong Kong will also bring some seafood back here. You can also eat a big seafood meal and enjoy the beautiful sunset in the shack. Street side, there are many delicious snacks: chicken dung rattan, rice cake, tofu flower, tea fruit, eggs, fish eggs (fist size), barbecue.. I ate a tofu flower shop, saw the goddess She Shiman and the owner's photo, as well as other familiar stars in the Hong Kong opera have photos.
