The Venice of Hong Kong - Tai O

Tai O is a fishing town, located on the west coast of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The village name means large inlet, referring to outlet for the waterways (Tai O Creek and Tai O River) merges as it moves through Tai O. The village is known for its stilt houses, which were built over the water to accommodate the local fishing community, as well as its dried seafood products. The building style of stilt houses date back in 19th century and Tai O is the only place that has over hundred years sedentary fishing community in Hong Kong.
