Lovely little fishing village with many shops and seafood. Take a boat ride for lovely scenery or take a walk up the mountain to see the White Chinese Dolhins swim.

We visited this fishing village as part of our island tour. We took a ride on a Samoan to see the houses on stilts, then explored the narrow streets. Well worth visiting

A great day out - we live here and visit her at least 3 times a year. Wander about old houses on stilts - seeing the crabs at low tide. A nice way to glimpse how life once was. Lovely scenery to / from Tai-o.
