Personal Travel Notes | My 2-Day Record in Tai O (Pure Sharing)

| My 2-Day Record in Tai O (Pure Sharing). 🔥 Tai O preserves the pure appearance of Hong Kong from 100 years ago. Located in the western part of Lantau Island, it is a place full of rich fishing village atmosphere. The residents here still maintain the traditional fishing lifestyle, simple, kind, and warm-hearted. These 2 days felt very healing~ · ✅ I came from Tung Chung MTR Station by taking the No. 11 Lantau Bus, which took about an hour! Upon arrival, I saw many characteristic stilt houses in Tai O. I took a boat to tour the stilt houses and tried my luck to see if I could spot pink dolphins. After the excitement, I went to the market to explore. There were delicious mango sticky rice balls, braised squid, herbal tea, and a special treat called 'Sha Weng,' which is a sweet local snack that lifts your mood~ · ✅ Actually, Tai O can be combined with Ngong Ping Lantau Island attractions. Visit Lantau Island in the morning and arrive at Tai O by noon. The residents told me that pink dolphins are more active before noon, so the best time to see them is around midday~ Therefore, if you wake up early, you can explore Lantau Island in the morning and then come to Tai O to spend a day and a half~ · ✅ In Tai O, it's best to explore on foot, taste traditional Tai O delicacies and street snacks, and then walk to a café by the pier to enjoy some coffee and relax~ Actually, the best place to relax and unwind is the Tai O Heritage Hotel, a colonial-style building from the early 20th century. It is a pure white seaside European-style building, revitalized from the old Tai O Police Station. For example, the restaurant Tai O Lookout on the first floor of the hotel retains the original rooftop watchtower. This seaside restaurant also features a glass roof design, making it a great spot for photos! In the evening, enjoy Tai O's unique cuisine and watch the sunset over the sea. It's incredibly romantic! By the way, the Tai O shrimp paste pork chop bun is really delicious. The pork chop and shrimp paste blend perfectly, with a fresh taste that satisfies your stomach with every bite!
