Description
Aberdeen Harbour is the harbour between Aberdeen (town) and Ap Lei Chau, and is one of the nine harbours in Hong Kong. It is well known for its view and is a popular tourist spot. During fishing moratorium and the typhoon weather, Aberdeen Typhoon Shelters are the parking spot for fishing vessels owned by local fishermen.
Aberdeen is famous to not only tourists but also Hong Kong locals for its floating village and floating seafood restaurants located in the Aberdeen Harbour. The Tanka people, who used to live on boats in the Aberdeen Harbour are generally associated with the fishing industry, and there are still several dozens of them living on boats in the harbour.

Gordon you would not know Kowloon today from I have read about it in the 1950. It was sure some place. That has all been cleaned up or pulled down. We stayed there in a little boutique hotel. My husband got his beautiful suit from there too. Sandy

It was lovely taking a small junk around the harbour then off to lunch on the floating restaurant. There are still fisherman living on the harbour and not in the units the government has built for them. I can see why. Many thanks Lucinda. .
