Lantau Island
Tung Chung - Tai O
6th December
3 Hours
Comments: Once we found the start this was a nice undulating coastal walk ending in Tai O, Also known as the "Venice of Hong
Kong"
The Route
The start is in farmland
Easy to follow paths
Along the way there are the remains of small villages
This is the building of the bridge between Hong Kong and Macau, due to be completed in 2016
Taking a break
Onward to Tai O
The outskirts of Tia O
Tai O is home to the Tanka people, a community of
fisher folk who’ve built their houses on stilts above the tidal flats of Lantau
Island for generations
Watch out for the low hanging poles
These unusual structures are interconnected, forming a tightly-knit community that literally lives on the water
Some of the houses are in better condition than others
A local B&B owner asks what I am doing
The local businesses all seemed very happy that we were going to add their village to street view
I became a bit of a walking tourist attraction
