The Tai O Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival amazed me all year long!

✨A romantic starry sky hidden in the fishing village, falling into a dream of thousands of lanterns🌕
•
I was truly stunned by Tai O’s Mid-Autumn Festival!
This fishing village, known as the "Venice of Hong Kong,"
transforms into a dreamy sea of lanterns during Mid-Autumn🏮
•
When night falls, over a thousand hand-painted lanterns light up simultaneously,
slowly blooming along the waterways, stilt houses, and San Kee Bridge.
The warm yellow light reflects on the winding water channels,
making the entire fishing village seem to float in the starry sky.
•
You must experience the "Tai O Rowing Night Lantern Tour."
Sit on a traditional sampan and gently glide through the interplay of light and shadow on the waterways,
following the rhythm of the boatman’s oars.
•
I recommend checking in at the Red Bridge, the perfect spot to admire the sea of lanterns.
When all the lanterns are lit, the scene before your eyes truly feels like stepping into a movie.
Standing on the bridge, you can also smell the tempting aromas of food—
Tai O Bakery’s fried dough sticks and Cha Kwo Choi’s glutinous rice balls
are must-try local delicacies!🍙

📅 Time: From now until mid-October
📍 Location: Tai O Fishing Village
(About 50 minutes direct by Bus No. 11 from Tung Chung)
🏨 Hotel recommendation: Stay in Hong Kong Island’s urban area to experience
both the traditional folk Mid-Autumn atmosphere and the city’s modern romantic vibe.
Highly recommend the Nanyang Hotel in Causeway Bay, a prime location—
right below is Times Square, 🪐 the center of the universe, you know!

Here, Mid-Autumn is not just a festival,
but a romantic encounter of light, water, and memories.
