Explore the scenic fishing village of Tai O in Hong Kong! 📷

Hidden away on Lantau Island, Tai O fishing village is one of Hong Kong’s hidden gems. Here you will find the old traditional stilt houses amongst cafes, seafood restaurants and small shops. To get here you can take a bus or taxi from Tung Chung, the trip will take around 45 mins. Once you arrive take a walk around the village and see what local life you can capture on camera! Pay attention to the fishing boats, village dogs and shop cats! If you want to capture the first image, bring a drone and fly it above the middle intersection of rivers for that crazy perspective! Try to spend some money and support the local shops and businesses here, it’s a beautiful place! #localguides #mytravelhacks #falltrip #hongkong

Quaint Waterfront Magic at Tai O Fishing Village 🚤🌿🌊 Step into the charm of Hong Kong’s “Venice of the East”—Tai O Fishing Village! This sun-drenched bay offers classic stilt houses, bustling piers, and pretty mountain backdrops that beg for a camera. Here, local heritage meets breezy seascapes, making every stroll feel like an authentic coastal getaway. 🧭 Recommended Itinerary: Start your adventure early to catch golden light over the fishing boats docked at the pier—those glittering waves and hills make for incredible close-ups. Wander the main waterfront walkway to soak up Tai O’s unique blend of tradition and modern life, spotting crabs skittering by and vendors serving up famous shrimp paste. Explore the alleys lined with historical buildings and pop into a local café for a snack. 🌅 Must-Do Experiences: - hop on a boat tour to spot the rare pink dolphins - try the handmade Tai O snacks, especially the succulent cuttlefish skewers - visit the Tai O Heritage Hotel for another insta-worthy angle overlooking the bay 📸 Top Photo Spots: - Close-ups of fishing boats with mountains behind them—early afternoon for dreamy lighting - The stilt house clusters at sunset - Flowering trees and reflections in the water (keep an eye out for blooming floral corners!) ⏰ Tips & Precautions: Go on a sunny weekday for fewer crowds and sharper outdoor shots. The alleys are tight—pack light! Some walking paths get slippery from the morning dew. Hydrate, wear sunblock, and don’t forget mosquito repellent if you linger by the water. #HongKong #TaiO #FishingVillage #HeritageWalk #CoastalViews
