Tai O Tales: Hong Kong’s Living Heritage

Despite Hong Kong being one of the most modern business hubs in the world, there’s a hidden gem in the Lantau area — the charming Tai O Fishing Village. Here, the stilt houses, narrow lanes, and preserved traditions tell stories of a slower, simpler life.

For me, this isn’t just another touristy photo spot. It’s a place to truly experience how the locals live their laid-back daily lives, away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Visiting Tai O feels like stepping back in time, where culture and history remain beautifully alive. 💙

Traveler’s Tip: Visit Tai O in the late afternoon so you can enjoy both the lively market atmosphere and the peaceful sunset by the water. Don’t miss the chance to take a boat ride around the stilt houses — you might even spot the famous pink dolphins if you’re lucky! Bring cash since most stalls and vendors don’t take cards.
