Stilt Houses in Tai O, Hong Kong 大澳棚屋


Stilt Houses in Tai O, Hong Kong

Painting
27.5 cm x 75 cm
Mixed Media: watercolour,  drawing pens, various markers and acrylic.

There used to be a lot more stilt houses around Hong Kong but as Hong Kong's urban areas kept on expanding, many were lost through reclamation and property development. The stilt houses in Tai O have been well preserved thanks to its remote location, which is in the south-western tip of Lantau Island. Today it has become a tourist destination visited by many during holidays.

花了幾星期終於完成的大澳棚屋!

大澳有「東方威尼斯」的美譽。大澳位處離島上,遠離煩囂的市區,較少受到都市化的影響,所以仍舊保留早期香港的漁村風貌。大澳風景秀麗盎然,水道上的高架屋──棚屋,是漁民的居所。河、有秩序地穿插於一排排的古老棚屋建築群,烘托出獨特的漁鄉風情。在建築材料方面,棚屋一般由杉木坤甸木紅木等木材建成。1950-1960年代的棚屋多為尖頂設計,而1970-1980年代就多採用平頂
