Victoria Harbour is a port between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, with a sea area that stretches from Lei Yue Mun in the east to a sea boundary line at Green Island, then to the west shoreline of Hong Kong Island. With its wide expanse and deep waters, it is a natural harbor and has earned Hong Kong the nickname "Pearl of the Orient" and the reputation of being one of the "Three Best Night Scenes in the World." The name of Victoria Harbour comes from Queen Victoria of England. Every year, there are different themed fireworks displays which make it a must-see attraction for tourists. Since the early years, the British saw the potential of Victoria Harbour becoming an excellent port in East Asia, and after acquiring Hong Kong from the Qing government, they swiftly developed their maritime trade in the Far East. Victoria Harbour has greatly influenced the history and culture of Hong Kong, leading the development of its economy and tourism industry, and becoming one of the key factors in making Hong Kong an international metropolis. You can choose a sightseeing boat and enjoy panoramic views of famous landmarks and scenery.

Lantau Island, also known as Tai O Island, is the largest island in Hong Kong with an area of 147.16 square kilometers, which is 84% larger than Hong Kong Island, the second largest island in Hong Kong. In the past, due to the inconvenience of transportation and the distance from the city center, many areas of Lantau Island were undeveloped and sparsely populated. However, with the relocation of Hong Kong International Airport and the construction of the Tsing Ma Bridge and the Lantau Link, the connection between Lantau Island and the city center has become more convenient. The traditional fishing village of Tai O and the famous tourist attraction of Tian Tan Buddha have made Lantau Island a pleasant tourist destination. The development of the new city on North Lantau, the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, and the completion of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in the future are promoting the urbanization of Lantau Island. For travelers, Lantau Island can provide different experiences and pleasures, whether you are seeking peace and relaxation or excitement and joy. You can enjoy the traditional fishing village in Tai O, or admire the natural beauty at Tian Tan Buddha. You can also swim at Pui O Beach or Cheung Sha Beach, or spend an unforgettable day at Hong Kong Disneyland. Lantau Island has different interests and experiences, and you can find the most suitable way to enjoy it, whether it is admiring the scenery or seeking happiness.

Tai O was once the main fishing port and salt production area in Hong Kong, as well as a garrison town. For generations, Tai O has been the home of fishermen and Tanka people. To ensure a sense of security, they built sheds along the river. These traditional sheds were designed with fishing boats in mind, with the front serving as the site for fishermen's daily activities and the back used for sun-drying salted fish and seaweed. The sheds are interconnected, and some passageways cut through neighbors' living rooms or kitchens, creating a close-knit community. These sheds, waterways, and bridges together form the unique layout of Tai O today.
