Market at Tai O

We visited the little fishing village of Tai O together with our trip to the Big Buddha. It is only a 15 minute taxi or bus ride away from the Big Buddha and really worth a stop for the traditional houses on stilts and to see a bit more of the beautiful island of Lantau, you might even get a peek at the elusive pink dolphins that inhabit the area.

The little market at Tai O is not just for dried seafoods, it has a bit of everything, including fresh produce and seafood, even souvenirs and knick knacks.
