ABOUT THIS TOUR

This unique tour takes you deep into Aberdeen Harbour, once the beating heart of the city’s fishing industry and still home to a floating world of houseboats, junks, and generations-old maritime tradition. We will walk along the Aberdeen Promenade, sharing the story of the Tanka and Hoklo boat-dwelling communities who have called these waters home for centuries; this culture is still visible today in the junks, trawlers, and houseboats moored along the typhoon shelter. A 60-minute boat ride glides past the Aberdeen Wholesale Fish Market, the historic Hung Shing Temple, the dragon boat training base, and beneath the Ap Lei Chau Bridge, taking in a side of Hong Kong most visitors never see.
