Tai O Island located just on off the southeast tip of Lantau Island has got to be one of my top ten places to see while in Hong Kong (maybe in my last post before I return to the States I will list my top ten). Tai O is an old fishing village and during the revolution war in China, it was one of the entry points into Hong Kong for people fleeing the war.

In about three hours, I took over a hundred pictures of Tai O, so I am having difficulty planning which ones to post. Also, Jenny took another one hundred plus!
Tai O is the home of the Tanka people who built their homes on stilts; these homes are inter-connected making for a tight knit family community.
Tai O Hertage Hotel , above, was once a former marine police barracks now a beautiful hotel about twenty minute walk from the village.
Sunset at the tip of Tai O adjacent to the hotel.
Nice shots,especially the last one.
