Situated on the far western edge of the island, Tai O is a real insight into Hong Kong’s humble beginnings. Fishermen houses were once a common sight throughout Hong Kong, but only those of Tai O have been preserved on such a large scale. Much of Tai O’s timeless appeal lies in the fact that it feels a million miles away from the lightning pace of urban Hong Kong. This 300 year old fishing village is regarded as a pearl of heritage as the rest of Hong Kong is mostly made of skyscraper canyons filled with a never-ending stream of vehicular traffic.
