Tai O fishing village — traditional Hong Kong culture

Tai O is a fishing village, located on the western side of Lantau Island. It is also known as the “Venice of Hong Kong” due to its traditional stilt houses built over the tidal flats of the Lantau Island estuary. This unique design allows the community to live in harmony with the surrounding waters, although they are rising due to climate change. This charming village is a living showcase of the traditional fishing culture, preserving a way of life that has remained relatively unchanged for centuries. The Tai O tour will be an enlightening and memorable experience, which combines cultural appreciation with practical learning of coastal resilience.

Ngong Ping 360 — feeling of flying

Ngong Ping 360 is a bi-cable gondola lift on Lantau Island. It is named for the breathtaking 360-degree vistas it provides during the 5.7-kilometer cable car journey from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping. During a 25-minute cable car ride, you will be treated to a spectacular aerial perspective of verdant landscapes, the expansive South China Sea, the impressive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and the majestic Tian Tan Buddha. Disembark at Ngong Ping Village, explore its quaint shops and local snacks, then ascend 268 steps to reach the base of the 34-meter-tall Big Buddha and conclude at the century-old Po Lin Monastery.
