One of the great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city is to take our Hello Hong Kong Lantau Island tour. One of the itineraries of this tour is visiting a small fishing village called Tai-O, a place where the famous shrimp paste is locally made and is officially recognised as a cultural asset of HK .

The shrimp paste can be used to stir fry vegetables, or fried rice or pork. You do need to add a little sugar to balance the saltiness of it. It taste so good and add flavour to local cuisines that a Hong Kong foodie will give a thumbs up!.

Lantau Island : Tai-O

Visting Tai-O and seeing how shrimp paste is made is one to be added in your Lantau Island things to do list.

The Tian Tan Buddha was erected in 1993. Facing north to look over the Chinese people, this 34 metres high statue is an impressive masterpiece and took 12 years to complete.

You can see the right hand is raised to deliver blessings to all and when you climb the 268 steps for a closer look at this remarkable statue, you can see he is surrounded by six devas.
