 For
a
look
at a
rare
example
of a
Chinese
stilt-house
community,
head
to
the
far
northwestern
edge
of
Lantau
Island.
This
is
home
to
the
Tanka
people,
a
community
of
fisher
folk
who
have
built
their
homes
on
stilts
above
the
tidal
flats
for
generations
because
they
do
not
feel
safe
on
land.
Their
enchanting
world
is
an
amateur
photographer's
paradise.
Interestingly,
a
new
manually-operated
drawbridge
spans
the
narrow
creek
that
divides
the
town.
It
replaces
an
old-fashioned
rope-drawn
"ferry"
that
operated
for
over
86
years!
The
village
is
accessible
by
an
hour-long
bus
ride
from
Mui
Wo. |
