Hong Kong: Aberdeen Boat Tour and Visit Floating Museum

Hong Kong: Aberdeen Boat Tour and Visit Floating Museum

Long before Hong Kong became a buzzing metropolis, it was a village that thrived on the bounties of the seas. This boat tour lets you dive into Hong Kong's rich fishing heritage and discover how it has shaped our city. The location is half an hour away from downtown Central, with 7 time slots, departing every hour, is easy to fit into your travel schedule. Check-in at Lau Kee Boat Noodle. Get on board the Classic Chinese Sightseeing Teak Boat, cruise around the charming and traditional Aberdeen fishing village. Listen to the audio commentary about the local landmarks, each with their own unique story and cultural significance. Next, climb aboard the Houseboat Floating Museum, it was originally a living home of a typical Fisherfolk family in the 80s, and eventually they resided onshore, after that it was restored into a floating museum in 2018, and now its being shown off as an example of how life is lived on the water. The houseboat main deck has a living space of 100m2, with a same size rooftop that used to be their seafood drying space. The size of the houseboat tends to surprise most local people, as the average Hong Kong apartment is 43m2, and has them rethink the factors that make most fisherfolk next generations chose not to continue practice fishing industry and move on land. The rooftop has a 3D painting with strong visual impact, as if you were taking a photo with the Jumbo Floating Restaurant under the sea. Remember to take Instagrammable photo under the classic neon light on board too! Select the lunch option to enjoy a hidden local dish produced in a mobile Sampan kitchen called the noodle boat. After the tour, we will get you back to Aberdeen Pier 6 where the journey begins, Pier 6 also has a souvenir store that you can find unique gifts that captures the essence of Aberdeen and Hong Kong.
