Video: Tai O - Houses on Stilts in Hong Kong

February 27, 2007 - 1:24pm

Think Hong Kong is all skyscrapers and crowded streets? On the southwestern coast of Lantau, one of Hong Kong's outlying islands, is a fishing village called Tai O. It's one of the last remaining fishing villages with stilt houses built hundreds of years ago.

We take a boat ride around these houses built on water, get lost on the "boardwalk", and eat spicy prawns with an off-color Chinese name.
