Tai O


Tai O is a  rural fishing village quite close to Hongkong. Although it is only a short bus ride away from the "The Big Buddha" on Lantau Island, close to the international airport, not too many people go there.

People live in buildings on stilts above the tide. As people still don't own refrigerators, fish is sold either dried or alive and people go to their local market every day to shop for groceries. The local fish market sells specimens I had never seen before.



 What are these?
