The Tourists and Tour operators in Hongkong never missto take you to Lantau island to see the Bronze Buddha.and the Budhist Monastry which is undergoing renovation now.But many miss to visit 'Venice of Hongkong' the Tai O village which once upon time called the piracy island.
The Stilt houses running along the banks of the river is a very good Tourist attractions.There is a steel hanging bridge which connects the two halves of the village.One can see old houses destroyed by a fire in 2000 and are being rebuilt.This fishing village is famous for its dried catches from the sea.It was once a famous for salt production area
But now the tourists take trips around to see the old stilt houses,old village huts,and a 1699 chinese temple.Some locals arrange a guided tour of the village by walking around and on a small boat navigating through the narrow river and showing their culture of living in stilt houses.
I was very fortunate to go for the Sunset cruise in a small boat and I can see these amazing chinese white Dolphins playing around in good numbers.This experience is very attractive and the local boat man charge a small fee of 20 HK$ for a 30 minute cruise which is very very cheap compared to Hongkongs costly living standards..
