Have a Merry Tai O Christmas!
With Christmas just around the corner and with travel overseas somewhat curtailed, come to Tai O for a very unique celebration.
From 24 to 27 December, visitors to Tai O can take a traditional sampan ride, and enjoy an experiential exhibition featuring the building of an imitation stilt house. Other exhibitions showcase the intangible cultural heritage of local events in celebration of traditional festivals, while selected young couples will even perform a mock-water wedding. To top everything off, there will also be a river parade on the 26th featuring Dragon Boats, Lunar New Year Lion Heads, Mid-Autumn Festival Lanterns, among others.
You can also see the creativity of 70 design students who have redesigned the logos, menus, uniforms and interiors of ten local stores, highlighting each store's unique story. Best of all, volunteers from our Hong Kong Young Ambassador Scheme will act as your guides to the local history in enabling you to discover this unique fishing village.
All this is part of The Hong Kong Tourism Board's 'Pilot Scheme for Characteristic Local Tourism Events', which supports the Federation's "Tai O Let's Go!" Tai O Cultural Festival 2021. Apart from celebrating the local customs and folklore of Tai O, visitors will also be introduced to local industries, food and handicrafts.
So, come and join us. And have a Merry Tai O Christmas!
