Virtual Tour in Tai O Community 大澳社區網上遊

[This is an Experience under Project C - Connect x Community]

Join this virtual tour to Tai O to discover its precious cultures and natural scenery, no matter where you are!

Regarded as the 'Venice of the Orient' for its unique stilt houses and waterways, Tai O has attracted a lot of tourists every year, but the needs of this community have often been overlooked. Most of the residents, who belong to the retired fishing population, need our care and support. In this tour, you can understand the history and evolution of the fishing village, and identify the community needs together with your schoolmates.

我們將於十一月舉行網上遊大澳，讓身處海外及本地的科大同學即使足不出戶，都能藉此機會認識這個風景優美、文化氣息濃厚、滿載人情味的小漁村。 大澳擁有「東方威尼斯」的美譽，每年吸引大量遊客到訪，發展蓬勃的旅遊業卻未能吸引年輕一代的回流，區內人口持續減少及老化、傳統文化漸漸被遺忘、生態環境被破壞，這些情況都很需要我們的關注。希望透過這次活動，讓同學在欣賞大澳獨特的棚屋建築和自然風貌的同時，可以深入了解大澳水鄉的變遷、社區發展和需要。
