What to do when you only have a day off in Hong Kong? The ‘Fragrant Harbour, refers not only to Victoria Harbour, but also to its history as a fishing community, well worth seeing and savouring.
Visit a fishing village
Lantau Island is a great place to see a more idyllic side of Hong Kong. Venture beyond the popular tourist attractions like the Tian Tan Buddha and Disneyland Resort, to the other side of the island where fishing communities such as Tai O are located.

Try local seafood
It is one of those scenes that you will remember for a long time after your visit: rows and rows of aquariums containing live seafood that you can purchase and have it prepared on the spot before you head inside the restaurant.
