Giant Buddha

1:00–3:00 PM
Tai O Fishing Village
Continue to Tai O Fishing Village, one of Hong Kong’s best places to experience its traditional maritime heritage. Unlike the skyscrapers of central Hong Kong, Tai O preserves a slower way of life built around the water. Walk through the village and see traditional stilt houses constructed above the waterways. Residents reach their homes by narrow walkways or by boat, giving Tai O its distinctive character and earning it the nickname “Venice of Hong Kong.” This stop offers a glimpse into an older Hong Kong shaped by fishing communities and waterfront living.
3:00–4:00 PM
Return to Your Hong Kong Hotel
After visiting Tai O, meet your guide and driver for the return journey. Travel by private vehicle back to your hotel, bringing the approximately 7-hour Lantau Island tour to an end.
