by fonares A tour in the Aberdeen harbour is interesting. People live and work on these boats. It is realy a small village in itself. There is also a huge restaurant called the Jumbo Foating restaurant that look like a palace or temple, very ornate in the chinese style. I did not go in the restaurant because it felt a bit too touristy. Leave a Comment

There you will see the largest floating restaurant (did not have time to eat there). But, you may take a ride in a sam pan (small boat) which will take you around the harbour of Aberdeen. You will see all sorts of boats, some of which people live in all year long. This is a fishing place. Leave a Comment

by sheryl_tan Take a boat ride to get a great picture of Jumbo, the floating resturaunt. The boat will also bring you to see the floating houses where the 'boat people' live. Leave a Comment

by ejroberts It was an interesting contrast between the mighty skyscrapers that are such a part of Hong Kong and the simple fishing community of Aberdeen. Leave a Comment

by ejroberts The contrast between the old and the new are everywhere in Hong Kong. If you look one way you see a modern cosmopolitan city and if you look the other way you see an ancient culture with people living much as they did in times long past. The combination of the two is what makes Hong Kong so interesting. Leave a Comment

by lainew The harbour and Aberdeen harbour where there are some wonderful seafood restaurants. You can tour the harbour in a junk if you want.

by Pierangelo Close to central railways station there is the Citybus station (by Exchange Square). You can take the citybus number 70 and go to Aberdeen. The bus has two floors so you can have a nice view of the streets hight from the bus windows. Every turist go first to Aberdeen to see the poor people living in house-boats. But, arrived there and doing a tour in the bay, I saw only a lot of rich yacts moored! After a not easy search I saw some fishers boats looking like an unhappy flat. I think they are payed to stay there in order to make happy turists... Leave a Comment

Many first-time visitors expect they can find many boat-residents living on traditional boats here...yes, there are...but not many, and no other things you can do with it other than the sampan trip. No museum, no "on-site visit" is welcomed. And don't expect little old-time sampan doing fishing here. There are now mostly motorized huge boats with mechanical fishing tools for deep-water fishing as yield along the coast is not good enough. And if it is nice fishing season--sorry, you may disappoint. The harbour will only be filled up with large fishing boats when typhoons approach. So after a little disapointment in the harbour, you get more disappointed on land. There is no decent seafood restaurants here--even not enough Chinese restaurants for local residents! No villagers--in fact, area around Aberdeen is a major ground of the boring public housing estates on the Hong Kong Island. And the town is just an ordinary satellite town. From a local resident's advice, I don't suggest a visit aimed for root-finding of Hong Kong, which has been a fishing village before being colonized, to Aberdeen. And honestly, due to its lack of attractions or very good restaurants, it's not even a good stop-over for Ocean Park visitors. Leave a Comment
