Tai O is home to the Tanka people, a community of fisher folk who’ve built their houses on stilts above the tidal flats of Lantau Island for generations. These unusual structures are interconnected, forming a tightly knit community that literally lives on the water. Their enchanting world is a photographer's paradise. http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/see-do/great-outdoors/outlying-islands/lantau-island/tai-o-stilt-houses.jsp
