Aberdeen Fishing Village Hong Kong


During the half day Hong Kong city tour, we were brought to some of the Hong Kong tourist attractions including Aberdeen Fishing Village in Hong Kong.  Aberdeen is a Hong Kong tourist attraction well known for its floating seafood restaurants, the most popular being Jumbo Floating Restaurant which looks like an imperial palace in China.

 The optional sampan ride gave us great insight into the lives of those living in Aberdeen Fishing Village.
