Great observation point near the Tai O village. The hike up to the view point was pretty straightforward and not very taxing at all. Took me about 5-6 mins to charge up to the top of the hiking trail. The view point can be considered as the head of the hiking trail around the Tai O island - didn't have the time to do the trail, just walked around the short trail between viewing point and a small shelter.
At the viewing point, accompanied by light sea breeze, you will be rewarded with a very encompassing view of the newly built Hong Kong - Zhu-hai - Macao bridge and the Tai O village and surrounding bays, and every now and then commercial planes flying over. Was quite hazy when I was there, but you could still clearly see most of the views in the horizon. Unfortunately I didn't get to see those elusive white dolphins but I guess it's a hit or miss thing anyway.
Would recommend anyone visiting Tai O village to...

On another path from St. Stephen's Tai O family, there are more rocky as path not fully build. Many claimed could view a nice sunset scenery but it is depending on weather. It might not be easy to coming down to the village when sky...
