We went to Tai O, a village on the island of Lantau which is famous for it's houses on stilts. Hong Kong's airport, their Disneyland and a whole lot of designer shops are also on this island - but on the opposite end of the island. So Tai O still feels remote.
Apparently a fire in 2000 destroyed many of those houses, so there aren't so many in the traditional design.
