Tai O is pretty touristy theses days. It's not the place where you could see fisherman and village lives. On a sunny day, it is good to take a walk along the villages. The old police station was remodeled as a boutique hotel. I personally find that it is too pricy for a small room with simply design. If you... More

I didnt particularly enjoy Tai O fishing village. The only two things i liked visiting this place was the boat ride for HK20 (cheap) and the fish balls i ate in the village (4 for HK8). The boat ride was exciting simply because the guy took us for a really fast ride in the middle of the sea without life... More

As for me… Tai O is much more interesting than all the lights & sounds of the Hong Kong Island or Kowloon… Perfect for a lazy day ..chilling out at the dessert stores.. lunching at the many restaurants ..and the many street food (delicacies).. And oh yes.. try your luck in meeting pink dolphins.. i seen it only once..and its... More

Located in the western side of Lantau Island, this beautiful and typical fishing village for many years one of the most popular destinations for tourists, a few kilometres away from Ngong Ping and the giant Buddha statue. I personally have purchased the full package of Cable Car ticket which led me to visit this fishing village in a hike of... More

We had a guided tour around the whole village from land and from the water. It was great to see how the locals lived and went about their business. I'm sure it's changed over the years and as the visitors have grown but it still comes across as very authentic. - It's as much fun getting there too - MTR... More

I am a local and I think people are all pretty familiar with the highly urbanized Hong Kong like Central, Tsim Sha Tsui and so on. And Tai O keeps our most memorable memories about Hong Kong as a fishing village. You can find a lot of traditional Hong Kong restaurants which are very different from those you can find... More

Tai O is a must to see what Hong Kong might have been like 150 years ago. It is a remote (on south coast tip of Lantau Island) fishing village where riverside houses are all built on "stilts". It truly has an ancient feeling. There are a few shops, stalls selling gifts but mostly all types of local seafood delicacies... More

Visited the Friday before Easter and couldn't believe the crowds! Funneled through a narrow street market, wish we had gotten right back on the bus. Probably worth a visit during the week!

After exploring the amazingly beautiful city that is Hong Kong, a visit to Tai O fishing village is a reminder of what the many small villages that eventually merged to form the city would have been like. The town is fairly quiet, as it is a bit out of the way. It can easily be visited from Ngong Ping (accessed... More
