I've done this hike a few times in different directions, most recently from Tung Chung to Tai O (see this blog post here). It is a fairly easy hike as it is all very flat, just a little long with 13km. I started the hike by strolling through Tai O - I really like this… Continue reading Hiking: Tai O to Tung Chung

Hiking: Infinity Pool
There's a natural infinity pool on Lantau and it's not the best kept secret. Quite a lot people know about this place, so it was not surprising that it was quite packed when we visited it last Saturday. We walked from Shek Pik to Tai O (here's the full post) and just before we hit… Continue reading Hiking: Infinity Pool

The hike was 18km long and it was hot and sunny, so… Continue reading Hiking: Shek Pik to Tai O

During daytime there are quite a lot of visitors exploring the grounds… Continue reading Christmas 2012 in the Tai O Heritage Hotel

The cafe is in one of the main streets, overlooking the water. If you come from the… Continue reading Review: Solo Cafe in Tai O

What was really amazing in Tai O was the fact that we were there early – not early as in ‘first thing in the morning’, but early as in ‘before the tourists’ arrived. As beautiful as Tai O is, it is a popular tourist destination, often sold in combination with a visit to the Big… Continue reading Photography: Tai O People

A few weekends ago we planned to continue with our Lantau Trail hike and to start at stage 7 we had to go to Tai O. You can get there with a bus from Mui Wo (which has a ferry connection to Central) or from Tung Chung (which has a MTR station) but it will… Continue reading Tai O boat trip
