The classic white front of the Tai O Heritage Hotel scintillated brilliance under the sun. Having past noon the day ushered in its hottest hours. As I ascended the gentle incline toward the main office of the former police station, the classic structure slowly came into view, revealing a small part itself — beautifully restored, radiating an air of elegance that belongs to a bygone age in Hong Kong. Formerly the Tai O Old Police Station, the heritage became a revitalised monument and it now remade itself into a boutique heritage hotel. Situated at the southwestern tip of Tai O and overlooking the boundary between the waters of Hong Kong and China, the former police station was the frontier station that was set up with the intention of addressing two main problems that troubled the seas of Hong Kong between the 1900s and 1950s — the presence of pirates and the influx of refugees arriving by sea. The Old Tai O Police Station began its duty in 1902. It became a part of the marine police in 1948. By 1996 the police station became merely an outpost for the Land Police. Due to the exceptionally low crime rate in Tai O, in 2002 the Old Tai Po Police Station finally stepped down from its former historic duty after nearly 100 years of service to the community. #hongkongheritage #taio #lantauisland #lantau #历史古迹 #hongkonghistory #taiolookout

Stumbled upon this beautiful hotel! Booked it for my boyfriend's birthday, and it turned out to be a therapeutic island getaway experience. The first surprise was how spacious the room is! With a one-bedroom, one-living room design, it feels like a mini-suite. Just sitting in the living room and daydreaming is such a pleasure! The entire room exudes the charm of historical architecture, but all the facilities are new, so there's no need to worry about the inconveniences of old buildings. My favorite part is sitting on the terrace and enjoying the view. At night, sipping champagne and stargazing with my boyfriend made us forget we were still in Hong Kong! The hotel only has 9 rooms, making the whole environment super tranquil, almost like having the place to ourselves 🤍 We booked the Celebration Package: 🍷 Dinner was excellent, with a very romantic atmosphere 🎂 Cake and champagne were included, which was a lovely touch! The best part about staying here is escaping the city's hustle and bustle and enjoying a peaceful holiday! Although the hotel is a bit far from the city, it's definitely worth it! Plus, you can take a stroll around Tai O, making it a mini-trip. If you're looking for a place to unwind, this is definitely your best choice!

Summer is lingering, fishing boats are criss-crossing the mountains and the sea Afternoon bench listening to the dialogue between waves and wind Recommended check-in locations The bird's eye view under the blue Oyong Bridge gives a clear view of fishing village life Tai O Heritage Hotel, white walls and tile roof, peaceful time in memory You may be able to catch a glimpse of pink dolphins playing at the Hushan Observation Deck.

I have taken my kids to Hong Kong so many times. In addition to Disneyland and Citywalk We also particularly liked the panoramic cable car of Ngong Ping 360, the slow-paced old-time of Tai O Village, and the Lantau Island sightseeing open-top bus (Sunset Flyer). A complete guide to this three-day, two-night family tour treasure route Don't take the wrong path and take you to Hong Kong easily ✅Day1【Shenzhen chartered car——check in hotel——Lantau Island sightseeing bus——Outlet Citygate/Hong Kong night view】 It is really suitable for a family of three to charter a car when departing from Shenzhen. The one-way trip is 700-800 RMB, the seat is comfortable and the customs clearance is relatively fast. For this route, we stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton Tung Chung because it was close to several attractions and there were free shuttle buses to the airport and Tung Chung MTR station. The room is a sea view room, and the buffet dinner is also very cheap and good. For the prices in Hong Kong, this is really a good choice In the evening, take an open-top bus tour of Lantau Island. The bus also passes through Disneyland. When the weather is good, you can take the evening bus and watch the beautiful sunset when passing the aircraft maintenance area. This is how the Sunset Flyer got its name. At night, you can visit the surrounding outlet malls or go to see the night view of Hong Kong. ✅Day2【Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car——Ngong Ping Village——Big Buddha——Po Lin Monastery——Tai O Fishing Village】 In the morning, take the hotel shuttle bus to Tung Chung Station, then walk to the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car Station, just in time to catch the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car which opens at 10:00. There are three types of cable cars: panoramic cable car, crystal cable car and ordinary cable car. Life advice: You must take a panoramic cable car! It is almost completely transparent and unobstructed, allowing you to directly experience the beautiful scenery of mountains and sea. 25 minutes The Ngong Ping Market is right after the cable car, and it’s a great place to visit and take photos! Lots of photo spots At the end of the market, you will reach the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery, where you can burn incense and pray for blessings, or try the vegetarian Hong Kong-style snacks at Po Lin Monastery. At one or two o'clock in the afternoon, take the bus from Ngong Ping to Tai O. 18 minutes by car The houses in Tai O fishing village are all built on water, it is simply the Venice of the East You can take a boat to visit the fishing village and go out to sea. There are also many authentic Hong Kong snacks. I recommend Shakespeare's Bakery in Tai O. ✨Must-check-in spots: San Gai Bridge, Pink Bridge, Streets and Alleys - Wooden Bridges, Murals, Tai O Heritage Hotel, SOLO Café I really like the slow life here. There are many docile stray cats on the street that you can pet. On the return trip, you can choose to go back to Ngong Ping to take the cable car and then return to Tung Chung, or you can take the bus directly from Tai O to Tung Chung. ✅Day 3【Disneyland One-Day Tour】 It only takes 2 stops to get to Disneyland from Tung Chung MTR Station. Remember to bring your own power bank when you go to Disneyland, and don't bring your own suitcases, as they are too expensive to store and you have to queue up. I wrote the guide for Gangdi in another article. After watching the fireworks at night, we also chartered a car directly back to Shenzhen, which was very convenient (we asked the driver to drive to the hotel to pick up the luggage along the way)

Get away from the hustle and bustle, come to this historic fishing village, admire the stilt houses on the water, stroll through the streets and alleys here, and taste the street snacks, namely grilled squid, charcoal-grilled egg waffles, tofu pudding... 😋😋😋 When you come here, you feel that the surroundings are full of characteristics! Then we walked up to Tiger Hill and overlooked the beautiful scenery of Tai O. Besides enjoying the scenery, it is also a good photo spot. Finally, we walked to Tai O Heritage Hotel, which I think is the best place to check in at sunset! #Hong Kong must-visit check-in spots #Tai O Tour

Weekend good place recommendation 😆 ~ I've always wanted to go to Tai O for a countryside trip! A little distance from Tai O city center, about 15 minutes walk, but close to the seaside is the advantage! Afternoon tea has full of Tai O characteristic mangrove specialty drink ~ purple bean sprouts like mountain slag flavor, sweet and sour quite appetizing company sandwich is normal standard ~ banana pancakes are real ingredients, banana puree taste and fluffy 🍦 surprise 😆 When heading to/leaving the Heritage Hotel, take the opportunity to take the elevator to enjoy the beautiful view again☺️🫶 ▫️Corporate Sandwich ($138) ▫️Banana Pancake Maple Syrup with Ice Cream ($118) ▫️ Mangrove Specialty Drink (Set +$10) 📍 大澳瞭望台 (Tai O) 🗺️ 1/F, Tai O Heritage Hotel, Shek Tsai Po Street, Tai O #Your like and follow are my motivation🙆🏻♀️ Like & Follow @mageatallday 👈 #nosecond is hungry #mageatallday #MEAD Tai O #MEAD Western #MEADTaiOLookout #fallgoodplaces #weekend getaways

During the epidemic, I really wanted to come to this famous glass house for afternoon tea, but unfortunately it was temporarily closed because an infected person had visited. Today I finally got together with my friends to have lunch here. While enjoying the delicious food, I also had a sense of tranquility away from the city. 📍Location: It takes at least 20 minutes to walk from the boat dock ⛵️ or bus station 🚏 to the hotel 🏨. It is indeed very remote, but it is worth a trip. There are European-style streets and docks everywhere ⛵️. You can take the elevator to the hotel and then go up one flight of stairs to the restaurant. 🏠Environment: The whole building is designed with glass, with high light transmittance, high ceiling, and large iron fans hanging from the ceiling. There are booths on the left with some photos of Tai O on display, and a round stage on the right. The best part is the two-person stage next to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, with an unbeatable sea view. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, this window view is really relaxing😎, and it feels like you can sit here all day. 🤵🏻Service: Manual orders will be charged an extra one. 🍽️Lunch: You can upgrade to soup, drinks and desserts for $70. 🥣Soup: 🍄Mushroom soup + dinner roll🥖 🍄The mushroom flavor is very strong and goes well with the meal bag. 🫖Food: 🌼A pot of chamomile tea (hot) I have been pursuing health preservation recently, so I drink a pot of hot tea on hot days, which is refreshing and refreshing. 🍴Tai O🦐Shrimp paste shrimp🍤toast $108 Four triangular toasts with salad 🥗 and shrimp paste. Two-thirds of the toast is shrimp filling, and one-third is square bread. The shrimp paste is very thick and has a light shrimp paste aroma. The more you eat, the saltier it becomes 🤪. It is worth mentioning that the shrimp paste mixed with salad sauce is very delicious 😋, and the toast is normal. 🍴Tai O Shrimp Paste🐽Pork Chop Bun🍔with French Fries🍟 $138 🍔The pork chop bun was cut in half when it was served, which is quite thoughtful👍 and very convenient for sharing. The pork chop is fried with shrimp paste, so it is very salty and fragrant 😋, and it is served with tomatoes, lettuce 🥬 and bread 🥯, which is quite a combination. 👍This is worth recommending, and the fries with shrimp paste are great 😏. 🍮Dessert: 🫐Blueberry mousse This cup is small in portion but looks good, with a strong fruity flavor and a smooth texture. ⭐️In short, the environment is better than the food, it is worth visiting. If you have time after dinner, you can also join the guided tour at 3 o'clock to learn about the history of this Tai O Hotel and end the day's trip perfectly.

After the epidemic, we can finally leave. This time our destination is Tai O. Fortunately, the weather was sunny and hot. We took the bus from Tung Chung to Tai O for about 45 minutes. At noon, we went to the largest Fu Man Lin Restaurant in Tai O to eat seafood. The seafood was very fresh and the portion was plentiful. Then we walked along the seaside to the Tai O Heritage Hotel. There were many snacks such as tea and iced pineapple along the way. After checking in, we returned to the main street to eat the most famous Tai O Sha Ong. Complete a rich day's journey. #大澳文物酒店 #大澳美食

Transportation Tips - First take the MTR to Tung Chung Station and then change to bus No. 11 (the bus back many people on the way out, you have to get the second bus to get on, the return trip we left around 5pm and there was no one) Local attractions - the old fire station and the fence house (the house in the middle of the water) The scenery along the road is beautiful' you can take some beautiful photos slowly Hotel - Tai O Heritage Hotel (quiet environment, nearby beach) Food and Restaurants - Too many too many authentic gourmet snacks. Walk in along the road and if you’re not hungry, you can walk in before buying and you’ll find it much cheaper Shopping Guide - Tai O's famous shrimp sauce #parents and children #Hong Kong #Tai O #Tai O Heritage Hotel #Tai O #Tai O Food #Tai O Shrimp Sauce #Tung Chung Transfer

#Hong Kong Good Places #Tai O Transportation: 1⃣️🚌Bus: Take bus No. 11 from Exit B of Tung Chung MTR Station (every 15 minutes, more convenient, 50 minutes, not very friendly to people with motion sickness, but the price is the cheapest) 2⃣️🚠Cable Car: Exit B of Tung Chung MTR Station. The price is about NT$200 per person. You can see the scenery of Lantau Island along the way. If you haven't taken it, I recommend it. 3⃣️🚢Ship: The frequency is relatively sparse, with one ship every 2 hours. If you miss it, you may have to wait for a long time. Attractions: Tai O stilt houses, ancient temples, seaside promenade, Dolphin Watching Pavilion, Tai O Heritage Hotel (former police station site)... Among them, the must-see is the Dolphin Watching Pavilion, which requires going up and down the mountain. The scenery is beautiful and you can see the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the plane landing. The sunset is a must-see. You can walk to the Cultural Relics Hotel to watch the sunset. Friends who are interested in photography should bring their equipment. Food and drink: grilled squid (very fragrant), big fish balls (very chewy), tofu pudding (eat dessert while watching the studio scenery), cafe house, Shawong (fried food rolled in sugar), shrimp pork cake (as the name suggests, pork dipped in shrimp paste, worth a try), glutinous rice cake (sweet bean paste, peanut coconut shreds, mango), the more unique thing about drinks is that the local residents will make some drinks to relieve heat and thirst, such as roselle tea, salty lemon citrus tea, snow pear tea, etc. You can choose according to your own taste. Other features: murals, stray cats (lots of them), souvenirs (various dry goods: salted fish, fish maw, shrimp paste, xo sauce, dried shrimp), and the residents are very warm and nice.

We set out from Tung Chung to Tai O on Saturday. Unexpectedly, there were not many people arriving in Tai O today, so the waiting time was relaxing and comfortable, without the noise of the crowds☺️. Among them, Tai O Heritage Hotel is a must-visit place for many tourists when they come to Tai O. Not only does the Heritage Hotel have historical significance, it used to be the police station of Tai O, but now it has become a hotel and retains historical traces, which allows people to more or less understand the old police station. As it is Christmas🎄, the hotel has made some decorations to make the hotel more festive, and also make the photos taken in the hotel🏨 more different, more unique and more beautiful🥳; if time permits, you can even have lunch or afternoon tea☕️ in the glass house restaurant of the restaurant, and feel the hotel’s feelings and leisurely atmosphere🥳☺️

I have seen many sunsets since coming to Hong Kong. The sunset in Tai O, an outlying island district, really sells the warmth of the world. Isolated sunset People say this is the Venice of Hong Kong, but I think this is a paradise on earth. Here you can see the old Hong Kong fishing village Simple fishermen's life There is no excessive commercialization here Very quiet, very low-key and very humane! 🟨Transportation: 1⃣️Tung Chung Line terminal Tung Chung Exit B, take bus 11 (50 minutes) to arrive 2⃣️Take a boat from Tuen Mun Pier to Tai O (40 minutes) 3⃣️Take the ferry from Central Pier 6 to Mui Wo and then transfer to bus No. 1 🟩Tour route: After getting off the bus➡️Pink pier at the pier➡️Market Street➡️Shek Tsai Po Street➡️Tai O Town Hall➡️Tai O Heritage Hotel➡️Shaolin Wushu Cultural Center➡️Tiger Hill Observation Deck The most beautiful sunset is at the Hushan Observation Deck, where you can see the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge up close 🟦tips: The bus ride is long and if you get carsick, remember to bring motion sickness patches. There are so many people waiting for the bus, remember to queue up in advance. Also, remember to bring an umbrella! #HongKongGoodPlaces #HongKongHiking #HongKongTravelStrategy #HongKongCheck-inHotspots #Halloween2022

Since the broadcast of "Uncle's Love" last year, many more people have made a pilgrimage to Tai O. I was no exception. In addition to sweeping the streets and eating delicious food, I also went to Tai O Heritage Hotel for the first time! The Tai O Heritage Hotel was newly opened and was revitalized from the old Tai O Police Station. The renovated building still retains its original cultural characteristics, and the pure white exterior has attracted many people to take pictures! It's not difficult to get to Tai O Heritage Hotel. If you go by water, it only takes 3 minutes. There is a boat ride at the location of the Blue Crossing Bridge. I chose to walk, eating and seeing the scenery along the way. Just walk straight from Tai O Market and walk straight for about 20 minutes! The hotel is not big, with only nine rooms, and I heard it is very popular, and you have to make reservations for several months. On the first floor is the glass-roofed restaurant Tai O Lookout, where you can enter to enjoy afternoon tea. We didn't try it, just walked slowly along the seaside on the lower level. The flow of people is much less than at Tai O Pier, so you can feel the quiet side of the fishing village. The scenery is beautiful, the sea and sky are the same color, which makes people feel relaxed! Tai O Heritage Hotel offers free tours every day at 3pm, 3.30pm and 4pm. #Unbeatable Sea View #Star Writers Rush Rush

The predecessor of Tai O Heritage Hotel was the old police station built in 1902. After being revitalized into a heritage hotel, it still retains three earth cannons, searchlights, guard towers and bunkers. It is a two-storey, beautiful building with a strong colonial flavor. On the first floor of the hotel, a large chessboard is placed in the middle of the courtyard. With the distinctive exterior walls, every spot is a check-in spot📸! There is a western restaurant on the second floor of the hotel ~ Tai O Lookout, which offers a variety of Chinese and Western cuisine. The most special thing about it is that it uses a glass roof design. You can enjoy the food while watching the stars and become one with nature 👍🏻.

#postandearn Nestled on the western coast of Lantau Island, Tai O is a timeless fishing village that offers a captivating glimpse into Hong Kong’s maritime past. Known as the “Venice of the East” for its network of canals and stilt houses perched above tidal flats, this 300-year-old settlement is a living testament to the city’s traditional coastal culture, far removed from its urban skyscrapers. Tai O’s iconic stilt houses wooden structures built on stilts above the water—are its defining feature. Originally designed by the Tanka people, a community of boat-dwelling fishermen, these homes withstand tidal changes and typhoons, reflecting the village’s harmony with nature. Narrow wooden bridges and winding waterways connect the community, where elderly residents still dry seafood on rooftops and repair fishing nets by hand. The village thrives on its fishing heritage. Visitors can explore bustling markets selling salted fish, shrimp paste, and other delicacies, or take a small boat tour to spot the rare pink Chinese white dolphins in the Pearl River Estuary. Tai O’s rustic charm is complemented by cultural landmarks like the Yeung Hau Temple, a 17th-century shrine dedicated to a Song Dynasty general, and the Tai O Heritage Hotel, a restored colonial-era police station turned boutique lodging. A visit to Tai O feels like stepping into another era. Wander its alleys to discover family-run seafood restaurants, century-old temples, and sunsets that paint the stilt houses gold. Accessible via ferry or bus from Tung Chung, this tranquil enclave reminds travelers of Hong Kong’s enduring connection to the sea—a place where tradition and resilience ripple through every tide.

It is a Grade II historic building owned by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and has now been revitalized as the Tai O Heritage Hotel. It was my first time staying in a historic hotel. Its dining room has been renovated. The room is large, the bed and pillows are very comfortable, the toilet is also large, and you can see the beautiful sea view as soon as you open the window.
