Aberdeen harbour is home to hundreds of people living on fishing junks. Their traditional lifestyle is dramatically juxtaposed against a modern high-rise community spread over the nearby hillsides. In the evening, the thousands of twinkling lights reflected on the water are a magical sight.
To get a close-up look at the Aberdeen way of life, you can take a sampan ride or take in the view from one of two magnificent floating restaurants anchored here. Three stories high and elaborately decorated with swirling red and gold dragons and other traditional Chinese motifs, this experience is not to be missed. Neither, of course, is the delicious fresh seafood and the excellent Cantonese fare offered.
Aberdeen is also the site of Ocean Park, one of Southeast Asia's largest oceanariums and theme parks.
