Aberdeen Wholesale Fish Market
The picturesque Aberdeen Fishing Village is not far from the hustle and bustle of the heart of Hong Kong, but seems like light-years away from it all, at first look. Here, you could see rows upon rows of the old-fashioned junks and sampans, some house boats where the fishermen and their families still live…you can get a sense for what things were like long ago and how modern life is catching up the old traditions, which stubbornly co-exist with contemporary amenities.
A sampan ride through the harbour is a great way to see Aberdeen in action. The rides are around 25-30 minutes long and they zip you from the docks in the Aberdeen Promenade for a closer look to the floating village.
