Locals working hard

When you come to visit Tai O, you will no doubt notice the large fishing fleet out in the harbor, near the bus station.

However, those large boats are only a piece of the puzzle. Most of the residents fish by themselves, working hard nearly every day to put food on their plates and maintain the village that you are now taking for granted.

Please be respectful to the hard working locals. These two offered me a 5 minute ride down the channel to get the sites, all for a modest tip of $5HK. Its a better way to see the sites and more intimate than getting on a larger tourist boat.
