My weekend .

EP
===










13 people , 26 feet , 17 pair of eyes , 8 cameras ...
We folks been to Tai O for an " adventure " --- tracking Chinese White Dolphin .

Tai O is a small fishing town located on the western side of Lantau Island .
Since parts of the island facing the South China Sea , and
Chinese White dolphins like to haunts in that sea area .
Which became one of the attraction to the tourists as well as local residents .
Other traditional parts which attracted tons of tourists every day
are the stilt houses , waterway boat trip and heritages on this small island .

i was searching info on internet about Tai O few days ago ,
From Wikipedia , Tai O was once occupied shortly by Portuguese during
Battle of Tamao ... Which suprised me a bit .

No doubt that this " Venice of Hong Kong " is a best place to visit during
weekend ... tho we haven't saw any dolphins at the end and chased by
the HK Marine because of the boat we took was overloaded .
i had a lovely weekend ~
