大澳簡介
大澳簡介
An Introduction of Tai O
大澳位於大嶼山西部，鄰近珠江口。過去百多年，珠江口一帶的魚產豐富，吸引了許多漁民在大澳聚居，至今成為香港著名的漁村之一。
Tai O is situated on the western side of Lantau Island, near the Pearl River Estuary. Over a hundred years ago, the Pearl River Estuary was abundant in fish resources, attracting many fishermen to settle in Tai O, which has since become one of Hong Kong’s most famous fishing villages.

To Live by Sam Pan
漁民傳統上以船為家，起居飲食都在船上進行。當漁民不出海捕魚時，他們的舢舨會停泊在大澳河涌的淺灘上。
In the early days, fishermen lived on their sampans, where they conducted all their daily activities. When fishermen were not out fishing, their sampans would be moored on the shallow banks of the Tai O waterways.

From Sampan to Stilts
後來，漁民將破舊的舢舨拖上岸邊，用大石固定，並覆蓋葵葉作為棲息之用。這種居住方式逐漸發展成現在的棚屋。棚屋、舢舨、縱橫交錯的河涌和橋樑，共同構成了大澳今日的獨特面貌。
Later, fishermen would drag their broken boats ashore, secure them with stones, and cover them with palm leaves to serve as shelter. This living style gradually evolved into the stilt houses seen today. The stilt houses, sampans, crisscrossing waterways, and bridges together create a picturesque scene of Tai O.
