Four highlights you can see during the Aberdeen sampan ride

Four Aberdeen sampan ride highlights

You can see four highlights during the Aberdeen sampan ride.

(1)Jumbo Floating Restaurant

If you upload the photo of this floating palace to your Facebook or Instagram, you can get lots likes. 

(2)Deep Bay Marina Club

Opposite to the Jumbo, that is the Deep Bay Marina Club, where you can find lots of rich people's toys, e.g. Jacky Chen's yacht. 

According to the old fishermen, the area was only a graveyard in the past. 

"Going to Deep Bay" was a curse!

(3)The floating fishermen community

Although the floating population is ever-reducing, you can still see their fishing boats, house boats, dragon boats, shipyards etc. 

Some of the fishermen even stop their work and pose for your photographs. 

(4)Ap Lei Chau, a world record island

The opposite side of Aberdeen is Ap Lei Chau Island. 

Its size is only 1.3 km² . As the government resettles lots of fishermen to this tiny island, it becomes the most densely populated island in the world (2011 figure: 66,755 people / km²!!!).

There are private tour options, which include the interesting sampan ride at Aberdeen. You may browse the attached links...

Ocean Park of the old Aberdeen

The cable car at the top of the painting just symbolizes the World’s best themed park in 2012, the Ocean Park.  It will bring more happiness to visitors by offering a new hotel and water world.

Ap Lei Chau of the old Aberdeen

The bridge under the cable car is Ap Lei Chau Bridge.  It is important for more than 90,000 islanders of the Duck Tongue (meaning of Ap Lei) Island, where the area is only 1.3 kilometer square.

Aberdeen Center of the old Aberdeen

The archway on the left is the Aberdeen Center.  It is now the biggest private housing estate in Aberdeen.  In the past, the area was just a dockyard!

Jumbo of the old Aberdeen and subway of the new Aberdeen

The subway under construction can bring more visitors to the famous Jumbo Floating Restaurant and surely make Aberdeen more prosperous and convenient.  The Jumbo is still the pearl of the fading fishing village, where the population of boat people is ever-decreasing.

YOU may have a easy and enjoyable private city tour to know more the Aberdeen Fishing Village during the included sampan boat ride.
