#springitinerary Tai O Market is like stepping into a whole different world, super chill, super local, and packed with those classic fishing village feels. Walking around, you’ll see stilt houses, fishing boats, and loads of quirky shops selling dried seafood, snacks, and all sorts of random goodies. The smell? Yeah, it’s definitely fishy but that’s part of the charm. Don’t miss trying some local treats like shrimp paste or freshly fried squid, total snack goals. It’s a cool spot to just wander, soak up the slower pace, and watch life happen on the water. Plus, you might even spot some pink dolphins if you’re lucky (fingers crossed!). It’s a bit touristy but still feels authentic and laid-back, not like a busy city market. Perfect for a half-day trip where you want something lowkey but interesting. Tai O is like the OG Hong Kong village experience, and honestly, it’s worth every minute.

When you come to Hong Kong, in addition to experiencing the prosperity of the city, you must take time to visit Lantau Island! Here you can find the Ngong Ping Cable Car, the Tian Tan Buddha and Tai O Fishing Village, which offer natural beauty, cultural experiences and food exploration all at once, allowing you to fully appreciate the diverse charm of Hong Kong. The most classic way to visit Lantau Island is to take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. The cable car extends all the way from Tung Chung Station to Ngong Ping. On the way, you can overlook the green mountains and blue bay. You can even see the Tian Tan Buddha from afar. The whole picture is as beautiful as a postcard. If you want something more exciting, you can also choose the crystal carriage. The transparent floor makes you feel like you are floating in the air, which is super shocking! When you arrive in Ngong Ping, the most important thing you cannot miss is the Tian Tan Buddha. This bronze Buddha is 34 meters tall and sits on a lotus seat. It is majestic and you can feel the solemn atmosphere even more when you look at it up close. Although you have to climb 268 steps to get there, it is definitely worth it to stand at the foot of the Buddha, facing the breeze and overlooking the mountains and sea views in the distance! When the weather is good, the view is very broad and you can see the magnificent scenery of the South China Sea, which is refreshing. After leaving Ngong Ping, it is recommended to take a bus to Tai O Fishing Village, which is a rare settlement of floating people in Hong Kong, forming a sharp contrast with the high-rise buildings in the urban area. Tai O has a unique tranquil atmosphere. Walking in the narrow alleys, you can see stilt houses on the water, fishing boats coming and going, and a strong fishing village culture that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city in an instant. When you come to Tai O, the most important thing you cannot miss is "Curry Fish Balls"! The fish balls here are really chewy, paired with a rich and slightly spicy curry sauce, full of aroma, and every bite is full of happiness😍. This is the best fish ball I have ever had, totally irresistible! Be sure to buy it and eat it, otherwise you will really regret it! In addition to curry fish balls, Tai O also has many dried seafood stores that sell dried shrimp, dried fish, shredded squid and other special seafood. The prices are also cheaper than in the city. If you like seafood, you can bring some back as souvenirs. There are also special snacks here, such as shrimp paste, salted fish fried rice, etc., which are also worth a try. In summary, this trip to Lantau Island, from the beautiful scenery of the Ngong Ping Cable Car, the magnificence of the Tian Tan Buddha, to the tranquility and delicious food of Tai O Fishing Village, each place has its own unique charm.
