Tai O Fishing Village

Far from the busy and and modern city of Hong Kong you can step back in time on the remote village of Tai O perched on the far south-western coast of Lantau. Do not go there for the architecture but lose your senses in the local market which can only surprise you with all those fishy dry products. On the above picture, you can witness oysters drying under the sun!

City Gate

As we were not arriving particularly early I had booked an hotel not far from the airport at City Gate which is literally composed of walls of tower apartments that give a real sense of... a city gate. I wish I could recreate the view (or may be I will if I happen to see this place from a distance) but in the meantime here is a close-up at what is on offer (just multiply this by 100 and you will get an idea of what it looks like.
