  • We visited a rural fishing village in Hong Kong called Tai O.
    It is located in Lantau Island, and a short distance from the Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) tourist attraction in Ngong Ping Village.
    How we got there: we took the subway to Tung Chung station, then rode the Ngong Ping Cable car to the Big Buddha, and hopped on bus number 21 to Tai O Village.

    Tai O is an ancient village where only decendents of the villagers can live/build. The smells you encountered are drying fish, which are then used heavily in many cuisines. It is not a poor village, just very old.

    You mentioned about the Hong Kong Museum of History, which is definitely worth spending 2-3 hours in. It is so interesting there. They don’t open on certain days, so keep in mind in case you plan to check it out!
    Great content of HK! It is an interesting place indeed. 20 minutes will take you from the heart of the city to the beaches, and hiking trails that have amazing scenic views.

    For Macau, you can also feel that the casino areas and residential area are also two worlds. Macau residential area is much like counterparts of old Hong Kong, but with much slower pace.
    BTW, If you really want to feel the poverty of Hong Kong, try the area around Sham Shui Po MTR station.

    Awesome to see the other side of Hong Kong thru' your eyes. That cable car ride is
    amazing, love the spectacular scenery along the journey. That fishing village is similar to Pulau Ketam of M'sia. In fact, it's a beautiful fishing village life.
    Well, Steve lvana, you both have done another amazing job by showing us this interesting tour. Thanks a bunch.

  • @raychan8533
    @raychan8533 Před 6 měsíci +6

    Steve & Ivana, you have made an absolute right choice to see one of the other sides of life in HK❤ Tai O offers stark contrast to the busy, fast paced and packed metropolis you get in downtown. It’s great for you to have walked up the surrounding hills that I as a local have not experienced. Trying out the shrimp paste pancake is tops among your adventurous spirit too 👍👍

    When I was in Jinan it was amazing to see this different aspect, and having experienced similar in the US (believe it or not) I noticed the differences and the similarities. We can learn so much about ourselves and the world in this way.

    Hong Kong seafood is expensive, So a lot of fishermen are rich, 600g of dried oyster meat in Hong Kong can be sold for HK$600.

    Had the best squid dish in Tai O! ❤️ One of the few fishing villages left in HKG, how most of HKG used to look like decades and decades ago. The pink dolphins there are adorable! ❤️ The other fishing area that I like is Sai Kung although it’s definitely “upmarket”.

    @jeanettefromchina Před 5 měsíci +3

    HK villagers are rich😂😂 as people living in town, we always admire those living in villages. Don't get confused by the outlook of the houses, usually the owner's just keep it that way because they treat it like "family heritage". And many families, are doing international business 😂😂😂

    😊 Most of them are original inhabitants/aboriginals. They might not be rich but absolutely not poor😂. But they're elderly.
    Actually my father was born in Tai O but he moved out and went to urban area looking for jobs in 1960's. Just like most young people at that time. My father is 85 years old now😊.
    I enjoy watching your videos.❤ Thanks for visiting Hong Kong.

      You’re not wrong, but the conditions drastically differ based on region. In my hometown Zhejiang Province, villages are mostly refurbished . Some villagers even open up their houses as B&B.
      West regions like Guizhou, Sichuan, Gansu province, villages are a bit more remote, don’t necessarily look as nice
