Tai O, also known as the Venice of the East

There are many islands in Hong Kong, the most familiar ones are Lantau Island and Cheung Chau! Tai O is even known as the Venice of the East! Tai O was once Hong Kong’s main fishing port and garrison town, and was also an important fishing and salt industry center for hundreds of years. The present appearance of Tai O is made up of densely packed shanties, crisscrossing waterways and bridges. The traditional stilt houses are designed based on the concept of fishing boats, and Tai O’s terrace houses are a major feature! In addition, Tai O Heritage Hotel is also a hotel that protects cultural relics! It is located in the tranquil and peaceful fishing village of Tai O, showcasing the most authentic cultural characteristics of Hong Kong. Standing on a quiet hill, the hotel features 9 elegant rooms and was revitalized from the old Tai O Police Station built in 1902. The renovated building still retains its original cultural characteristics and has a strong colonial flavor. The Hong Kong Heritage Conservation Foundation Limited operates the Tai O Heritage Hotel as a social enterprise, dedicated to promoting the conservation and appreciation of historical buildings to the community; and assisting Tai O in driving the sustainable development of local tourism. #HongKong #Tai O #FishingVillage #VeniceoftheOrient #Tai O Heritage Hotel
