About this experience
Aberdeen’s origins date back centuries to its roots as a tiny fishing community on the southern shores of Hong Kong Island. Now surrounded by a forest of skyscrapers, the village has managed to retain much of its charm, with a tight-knit community of fishing families who live on colorful boats in the harbor.
This hour-long tour aboard a traditional sampan boat takes in a number of important landmarks, including the 18th-century Hung Shing Temple, the fishermen’s wharf, fish market and the bridge connecting Aberdeen to the tiny island of Ap Lei Chau. An audio guide, complete with folk tales, lullabies and narratives on the floating village, makes it easy to follow the action and is available in English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese.
You’ll also step aboard a traditional houseboat, where a number of exhibits including vintage photographs and videos help bring this former family home to life.
