Aberdeen Harbour
香港仔与香港仔避风塘
A traditional fishing harbour on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, where you can take a sampan tour of the typhoon shelter and see fishing boats, yacht clubs, and life on the water.
Aberdeen is a traditional fishing harbour on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, and the name 'Hong Kong' is said to derive from this area's transhipment port. The typhoon shelter is full of fishing boats and yachts. A sampan tour of about 30 minutes can be taken from the waterfront promenade, passing Ap Lei Chau and the Aberdeen Marina Club. Agree on the price before boarding. The waterfront also has a fish market, a Tin Hau Temple, and Aberdeen Promenade Park. Take a bus from the Aberdeen Tunnel or transfer at Wong Chuk Hang station on the MTR South Island Line to reach it, and it can be combined with a visit to Ocean Park on the same day.
