Tai O is a small island located near Tung Chung. Despite its small size, it is filled with the characteristics of old Hong Kong's aquatic lifestyle, such as stilt houses, temples, and markets. There are also natural sceneries like coastlines, beaches, and hiking trails, making it well worth spending a day to visit. Moreover, climbing Tiger Mountain during dusk allows one to enjoy the sunset over the horizon, which, when combined with the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, is simply unbeatable!
