Tai O and the Outlying Islands
With the Coronavirus problem and the closure of many tourist attractions, is there still transit going to Tai O and or the islands like Lamma and Cheung Chau? I was disappointed to learn that the Wetland Park was closed as of January 29th and will remain closed until further notice.

My apologies. It seems like the government is discouraging people from travelling so I wasn't sure if I can still go there via transit even though Google Maps said it was possible. Just wanted to ask to be sure. I'll be back in HK very soon. HK isn't all about work. Gotta have fun too.

I haven't been there yet, but my recollection is that Wetlands Park is just a series of boardwalks over, well, wetlands and that's it: no rides, no fireworks, no dolphins, no billion dollar Government subsidies. Good for bird-watching at the right times of year. A nice escape from the city at other times.
As to transport changes, check the Transport Department's news releases from time to time. They usually mention route suspensions and cancellations.
