Tai O Fishing Village - Hong Kong - China
Previous Next
Tai O Fishing VillageLocated in the far northwest of Lantau, this is a rare example of a Chinese stilt-house community. Its Tanka boat people do not feel safe on land; they mostly live in tiny homes built on stilts in the creeks and tidal waters flanking Tai O's offshore islet. Their world is enchanting, an amateur photographer's paradise accessible by an island-crossing, hour-long bus ride from Mui Wo. A new manually operated drawbridge spans the small creek which divides the town. It replaces an old-fashioned rope-drawn ferry which operated for 86 years.
