About this place

Also known as the "Venice of Hong Kong", Tai O is a popular tourist destination for  foreigner visitors and locals alike. One of the main features of Tai O are the pang uks, a kind of stilt house, built right over the waterway.

A rope bridge (hand-pulled ferry) tended by local women used to be quite popular, but it has been replaced with a more practical steel pedestrian bridge in 1996.

The Chinese Pink Dolphin lives in the waters off Tai O, and tourists can go on a short boat trip to watch these animals out in the sea.
