Aberdeen
Some 200 years ago, Hong Kong's Aberdeen district was a haven
for pirates. Located on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island, it
is home to the Tanka boat people and has become a popular tourist
destination where visitors can experience on hand the traditional
lifestyle of boat dwellers and sample fresh seafood. Aberdeen is a
lively marina crammed with junks, sampans, water taxis (kai do),
cruisers and yachts. The fishing harbour is a wonderful way to
experience the activity of life on water. Tours along Aberdeen's
watery stretches can be enjoyed onboard one of the many sampans
offering half-hour trips around the harbour and the sensory
delights of Hong Kong cuisine can be experienced within the unique
environment of the famous Jumbo Floating Restaurant.
