  • Explore the Quaint Village of Tai O expand_more
    • From Ngong Ping, take a 20-minute bus ride to Tai O, affectionately known as the Venice of Hong Kong. Tai O is one of the very few remaining places in Hong Kong where we can still see stilt houses over the water. Tai O used to be a fairly big community. Still, due to the decline of the fishing industry, it, like Venice, is now primarily a tourist destination for both overseas visitors and Hong Kongers escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. Tai O is still known for its traditional production of shrimp sauce and shrimp paste and its colourful seafood market.
    • Embark on a full exploration of Tai O visiting the beautifully restored Old Police Station, now operating as a heritage hotel. 
    • If you are feeling hungry, this is where we can enjoy lunch in a very nice lookout restaurant.
    • Visit one of the two remaining shrimp sauce production outlets, meander the back streets in and around the stilt houses, see a temple from the late 1400s, and learn about the religion of Taoism. 
    • If you have the energy, trek to a lookout point to get an excellent view of the 42km bridge that links Hong Kong and Macau.
  • Return to Tung Chung & Downtown Hong Kong expand_more
    • At the end of the tour of Tai O, you will be in the middle of the National Park.
    • Travel to Tung Chung or Mui Wo (transport hubs on Lantau) to travel back to downtown Hong Kong; it will take approximately 45 to 50 minutes
    • Take another hour trip to downtown Hong Kong. This journey can be made with or without your guide.
