Hong Kong fishermen keep old ways, 25 years after handover

A fisherman Ng Koon-hee catches a fish in Tai O village of Hong Kong, Saturday, June 25, 2022. Tai O is a remote and scenic fishing village on the west side of Hong Kong's Lantau Island. Tai O's homes perched on stilts above its small harbor, are a picturesque remnant of skyscraper-studded Hong Kong's past. Hundreds of years ago, before the British colonists arrived in the mid-1800s, fishing was a way of life here and in other villages in the Pearl River Delta region. (AP Photo/Kin Cheung)
