📍The charm of a fishing village, enjoy eating and walking in Hong Kong.

Hellooooo 🇭🇰 Today, we're taking you to Tai O Fishing Village, or as many people call it, the "Venice of Hong Kong" 🏞️ A classic fishing village filled with old-style houses along the river. If you like a local feel, walking around and eating delicious food, you have to come here! And of course... When you come to Hong Kong, eating comes first! 😆 Because there are many delicious foods here, especially Tai O's famous fish balls, meat balls, and donuts. 🍡🍩 🌊 Tai O Vibes: A local fishing village ~ When you walk into Tai O, you'll see a full vintage atmosphere. Old wooden houses along the river with boats parked in rows. There's also a market selling dried seafood, salted fish, and many local foods! If you're lucky, you might even see the highlight of this place, the pink dolphins. 🐬 (But we didn't see them... ngaaaa because we didn't get to see them, haha) 🍡 Must-try dishes: Fish balls & meat balls Not far from here, we found a shop selling hot, boiled meatballs on skewers. The aroma hit our noses. We had to rush in and order some! Fish balls 🐟 Bouncy to the teeth, sweet and slightly spicy sauce, very satisfying, beef balls 🐂 Authentic Hong Kong style, extremely enjoyable to chew, anyone who comes here and doesn't eat = you're missing out! 🍩 Must-try dessert: Tai O Donut, a famous old-fashioned donut recipe here, crispy outside, soft inside, not oily, first bite is... Wow! 😍 The sweetness is just right, eating it while it's hot is a level ten of deliciousness!! Anyone who goes there must try it, or else you won't say you didn't come! 💡 Tips: How to get to Tai O? 1️⃣ Take the MTR to Tung Chung Station (Exit B), then take Bus 11 to Tai O (about 50 minutes) 2️⃣ Or you can take the Ngong Ping cable car to worship the Big Buddha first, then take the bus back! (This is how we do it) 🎉 Conclusion: Should I go? It's worth it! 💯 Both beautiful views, local atmosphere, delicious food, and a very enjoyable walk. Suitable for those who like to relax and eat like us! 😆 Who has been to Tai O or has other menu recommendations? Comment and let's chat! 💬✨ #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #NewYearNewTrip #HongKong #hongkong #HongKongTravel

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
