The beautiful scenery of the sea and sky could not be captured by the phone. It was so beautiful ❤️ 🐟In today's prosperous Hong Kong, there is still a place that retains the appearance of the last century. It is Tai O Fishing Village.

Sao Weng, shrimp pork cakes, marinated cuttlefish and various seafood, South Australian cuisine is definitely worth a visit! 🌟You can take a taxi to Tung Chung from Shenzhen, and return from Tai O Bus Terminal🚌 to Tung Chung Bus Terminal, and then transfer to East Rail/High Speed ​​Rail🚄 back to Shenzhen #Tai O Shawong #Shrimp Pig Cake #Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

Ngong Ping 360 Rescue Trail is a challenging and scenic hiking route with a total length of about 5.6 kilometers. It is mainly used as an emergency rescue channel for the Ngong Ping Cable Car and is also open to the public for hiking. **Advantages:** 1. **Magnificent scenery**: Along the way, you can overlook the North Lantau coastline, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Maitreya Mountain. When the weather is clear, you can also see the Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau Island. 2. **Clear route**: The whole route is mainly stone steps and concrete roads. The slope is steep but the road signs are clear. It is suitable for mountaineering enthusiasts with a certain physical fitness. 3. **Less crowds**: Compared with Ngong Ping Village, this trail has fewer tourists and a quiet environment. **Disadvantages:** - Some sections are exposed to the sun, so you need to pay attention to heatstroke prevention in summer; - There is no supply point at the end, so you need to bring your own drinking water. Overall, this is an advanced route suitable for those who pursue physical exercise and natural scenery.

## Miscellaneous notes on the Dong'ao Ancient Trail The Dong'ao Ancient Trail winds through the northeast of Lantau Island, with stone steps and muddy paths interlaced, sometimes hidden in the wild grass, and sometimes stretching along the coastline. This road used to connect Tung Chung and Tai O. Today, there are many hikers, but it still retains a bit of desolate wildness. The scenery along the way is quite mixed - on the left is the airport runway, with iron birds taking off and landing constantly; on the right is the mangroves and mudflats, with fiddler crabs running rampant. The path is not very undulating, but walking under the scorching sun makes you sweat like a pulp, which is quite a test of your leg strength. Most of the villages along the way have been dilapidated, and the walls of the abandoned houses are covered with wild vines. Only the small temple in "Xiantou" village still has incense, offering several statues eroded by the sea breeze. When we arrived at "Shaluo Bay", we suddenly saw a century-old banyan tree, with aerial roots hanging down to the ground to form a forest. When we rested under the tree, we heard the deafening sound of cicadas, which even drowned out the roar of airplanes in the distance. After another two hours of walking, you will see the stilt houses of Tai O floating on the water, like a faded piece of building blocks. The best part of this road is that it juxtaposes the modernity of Hong Kong with its primitive brutality. Walking along it feels like traveling through two parallel worlds.
