I bought the Tai O Pass package, which has very convenient transportation. I got off at Tung Chung MTR Station and walked to the cable car station in a few minutes. I followed the instructions to go to the lobby to exchange the tickets, which included a cable car ticket, a bus ticket, a yacht ticket, 2 $10 snack tickets, and a $50 food voucher from Tai O Heritage Hotel. The standard carriage was enough. The scenery was very good. After passing several hills, you can see the Hong Kong airport. It took 20 minutes. Before getting on the cable car, the staff took a group photo for each family. When we arrived at the station, the set cost 260, which was a rip-off. I definitely didn't want to use it. I used the food voucher to eat at Honeymoon Kee at Ngong Ping Market, but I can only use 3 vouchers at a time. The bills were settled separately. There were several entertainment activities such as watching the Three Kingdoms, which were charged separately. It seemed to be 80 per person for each activity. I decided not to go. I bought two lucky cats at the lucky cat shop, and then went to climb the Tian Tan Buddha. It was not very high, with steps. The visit inside was average, and there was no way back. I went back down the mountain by the same route and went to the bus terminal to take bus No. 21. When I was queuing to get on the bus, the staff checked my ticket and exchanged it for a bus pass for bus No. 21. I would use it to check my ticket when I returned. I asked her what time she would be back at the latest. The staff did not speak Mandarin, so I could not understand her at all. After 10 minutes, we arrived at Tai O Fishing Village. The station said that the last bus No. 21 was at 17:45. We arrived at around 17:20, but the staff said that there was no bus at 45 minutes. The last bus had already left, so we had to buy a new ticket and take bus No. 11 back to the cable car station. The bus ticket and the return ticket for the cable car were all wasted. It was annoying.
There is nothing much to see in Tai O Fishing Village, except for the dried seafood made by the villagers themselves. You can go to the sea to watch dolphins by yacht, but the wind is strong on the sea, and it is very shaky when you stop to look at the boat, which makes you feel sick. We told the boatman to take the boat to Tai O Heritage Hotel for dinner, but we got off halfway. After 16:00, there was only afternoon tea, fried rice, hamburgers, chicken wings, etc. The 50 yuan coupon had to be paid separately, and the average cost per person was almost 100 after the discount. After eating, we had to walk back to the fishing village to take a bus, which was about 2 kilometers, so it was not cost-effective.
