Come and search for the Chinese White Dolphins!

 

The Chinese White Dolphins live in the sea around Tai O. In recent years, their habitat has been greatly affected by large-scale infrastructure projects such as the construction and operation of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge. How are the dolphins now? What is the solution to the conflict between conservation and development? The Dolphin Tour will bring you to Tai O to search for the Chinese White Dolphins, and understand the ecological conservation and economic development of the fishing village.
