Traditional Boat-Making Craft | Paper Boat Model Workshop
Start from scratch and discover the origins of a traditional wooden sampan! By creating a delicate paper model, the younger generation can gain hands-on experience with the craftsmanship and engineering marvels of traditional boat-building.
Tai O's Fishing History and Culture | Handwoven Fishing Net Bag Workshop
Once an essential survival skill for the children of fishermen, weaving now becomes a form of heritage at your fingertips. With each net and knot, craft a practical fishing net bag while uncovering the history and resilience of Tai O's people amidst the winds and waves.
Tai O Land Culture | Traditional Tea Cake Making
Tai O isn't only about the legends of waterborne lives – there's also the rich human warmth of its land culture. Knead, wrap, and create traditional tea cakes filled with the nostalgia of its homeland, savoring the authentic Lingnan Hakka and local cultural traditions.
Cultural preservation requires the passing of the torch from every generation. A profound journey to Tai O may plant the seed of cherishing traditions in the hearts of children.
