Aberdeen, Coastal neighborhood in Southern District, Hong Kong
The harbor contains hundreds of traditional fishing vessels, modern yachts, and houseboats where families continue their maritime traditions along the waterfront.
The settlement originated in 1550 as a fishing village, later contributing to the naming of Hong Kong due to the presence of fragrant incense trees.
The Tin Hau Temple, constructed in 1644, remains an active center of worship where fishermen request protection before setting out to sea.
Multiple bus routes and regular ferry services connect Aberdeen to central Hong Kong, with water taxis offering transportation across the harbor.
The district maintains the largest fish wholesale market in Hong Kong, processing fresh catches from local fishing vessels every morning.
