Aberdeen Fishing Village
A trip to Hong Kong would not be complete without sharing the experiences of the 'boat people' at the Aberdeen Fishing Village. This is perhaps one of Hong Kong's oldest and most popular tourist attractions. Having stayed most of my life on dry land, my last encounter with the Aberdeen Fishing Village sure did change my perception of 'life on water'.
Aberdeen used to be a little fishing village on Hong Kong Island but there are now as many yachts and sailboats as there are fishing trawlers and sampans. Nonetheless, the magic of this ancient fishing port remains and it continues to be a scenic highlight for any Hong Kong Island tour.
The harbor home consists of 600-odd junks that house over 6,000 of the boat people in Hong Kong. These brightly decorated trawlers, which double as floating homes for Aberdeen's fishing folks fill a sheltered harbor with hillsides decked with woodlands, Chinese cemeteries, and residential towers. For a fee of HK$100, a visitor can enjoy a 30-minute ride through the harbor, which will cover the incredible collection of marine life and the dynamic city-on-water.More
