Old photographs of the ‘floating villages’ in Aberdeen Harbour, located between Hong Kong Island’s southern coast and the outlying islet of Ap Lei Chau — showing thousands of fishing families living on traditional Chinese junk houseboats in the mid-1900s — are among the city’s most iconic and enduring images.
Some tour companies offer a one-hour boat tour — or 90 minutes with lunch — that recounts historical moments during the area’s development into a bustling urban town. It is a time-efficient way to take in local landmarks along the waterfront while enjoying the spectacular vistas looking out to sea.
Transport
Getting to Ap Lei Chau
To get to the meeting point for the Aberdeen Fishing Village Tour (Aberdeen 1773), take the MTR South Island Line to Lei Tung Station. Exit from A1 and head harbourside via Wah Ting Street. Turn right at the promenade and walk until you see Hung Shing Temple on your right. The pier is on your left.
Leaving from Ap Lei Chau
After the tour, you will return to the same point, beside Hung Shing Temple on Ap Lei Chau.
Local Tour
Aberdeen Fishing Village Tour (Aberdeen 1773)
Embark on a boat ride in Ap Lei Chau and dive deeper into the harbour’s history on this one-hour tour.

Local drinks, snacks and traditional boat noodles are available on lunch tours. The one-hour tour costs around HK$200 per person.
Average time: 1–1.5 hours (boat tour)
