UF volunteers and friends visiting Tai O
On 27 June 2021, 28 volunteers and friends of we60.com participated in a Heritage Tour at
Tai O organized by the Tai O Heritage Hotel. We assembled early on that day at Whampoa and, after completing our Health Forms, boarded a coach for Tai O and headed for Tai O Village. After arrival, we met the Ambassadors from the Hotel and were divided into two groups, each led by a local guide, and walked along the waterfront to revisit the history of this fishing village known for its interconnected stilt huts built on the water. Despite COVID-19 and fewer visitors, it had no effect on the great joy of our group in touring on sampans and taking photos of this beautiful “Venice 2.0”.
We visited the well-known Temple of Kwan Yu and the mural walls on various spots of Tai O, but the most memorable site was obviously the spectacular
Tai O Heritage Hotel. Many of us wasted no time in making enquiries about booking their hotel rooms for a good Staycation. At around 4 pm, we had to say goodbye to our two highly dedicated local guides, accompanied by a frock of beautiful cows and brought our fond memories of Tai O back to town. We are most thankful to the hospitality of Tai O Heritage Hotel and the sponsorship of Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation.
