Lantau Island, Tai O

Tai O is a fishing village specialising in dried seafood and famous for its stilt-houses and making dried shrimp paste (your nose will prove this to you). There is a former police lookout – installed principally to keep watch for pirates at the beginning of the 20th century and now made into a delightful boutique hotel. There is still a watch tower and a canon, and a small funicular has been added to meet modern accessibility requirements, as it is perched on a hill.

This is a very special corner of Hong Kong.
