Ap Lei Chau & Aberdeen in the southern district is the home of Hong Kong's boat-dwelling fisherfolk. This local town offers lovely boat rides and delicious seafood and boasts one of the world's largest floating restaurants: Jumbo Kingdom. Today, this harbour area is mainly an anchorage for boats and pleasure yachts of Hong Kong suburban dwellers.
On this tour, explore the floating community of Aberdeen the best way it should be explored — on a sampan or boat! Choose your preferred time and first enjoy a 30-minute ride through the harbour, while listening to the expert commentary from a knowledgeable audio guide to learn about the landmarks that embody each era of the Aberdeen Typhoon Harbour. After the boat ride, set foot on a houseboat and learn about Aberdeen boat dwellers’ life. Upon finishing the tour, you will return back to Ap Lei Chau Hung Shing Temple where this tour will dismiss.
