In the hills and sea of the Southern District, the concrete jungle suddenly gives way to a floating world of hundreds of fishing boats. This is Aberdeen — the city‘s last fishing port, and the place from which Hong Kong’s English name is said to have originated. Hong Kong Fisherman‘s Wharf sits right in the middle of this story-filled water.
This visitor center, converted from a former fish market vessel, serves as the gateway to exploring Aberdeen’s fishing village culture. From here, you board a nostalgic wooden sampan for the approximately 60-minute “Aberdeen 1773” tour. With audio guides available in five languages, the journey takes you through fishing songs, folk tales, and the life stories of the waterborne community — letting you hear the past and present of this sheltered harbor as you take in its scenic views.
The highlight of the tour is stepping aboard the “Sai Ka Tai” — a floating museum converted from a former houseboat where fishing families once lived. Inside, fishing gear, vintage photographs, and everyday objects recreate the daily life of fishermen — cooking, working, and living on the water. Local artists have also created 3D murals that immerse you in the fishing village atmosphere, along with neon sign installations that capture the essence of old Hong Kong.
The route passes iconic landmarks: you‘ll come within close view of the Tai Pak Floating Restaurant, famed for its appearance in Stephen Chow’s movie God of Cookery, as well as the Deep Water Bay Marina, traditional shipyards, and the Hung Shing Temple. On a clear day, the fishing boats in the typhoon shelter form a picturesque scene with the hills of Lamma Island in the distance.
Today, floating museums like the “Sai Ka Tai” — converted from actual houseboats — have become extremely rare. It is not merely an exhibition space; it is the last living witness to the rise and fall of Hong Kong‘s fishing industry and the fading culture of the waterborne people.
Here, the sampan glides not just across the water, but across the ripples of an entire era.
