Video: Tai O – Houses on Stilts in Hong Kong

by Diana on February 27, 2007

Think Hong Kong is all skyscrapers and crowded streets? On the southwestern coast of Lantau, one of Hong Kong’s outlying islands, is a fishing village called Tai O. It’s one of the last remaining fishing villages with stilt houses built hundreds of years ago.

We take a boat ride around these houses built on water, get lost on the "boardwalk", and eat spicy prawns with an off-color Chinese name.
