Aberdeen
was formerly a fishing village. Even though quite a few commercial
towers and factories have been built in this district in recent
years, Hong Kong Tsai still maintains the characteristics of a
traditional fishing village. There are also boat-dwellers in the
Aberdeen Bay, shuttling with sampan along the Bay, from which
one can have a glimpse of the life of the boat-dwellers, The famous
Jumbo Floating Restaurant and the Tai Bak (Tai Bei) Seafood Boat
are
located at the Aberdeen Habour. Visitors can enjoy a ree-of-charge
travel by ferry boat to the restaurants to have a taste of delicious
seafood.
After sampling the delicacies, you can stroll
along the old Hong Kong Tsai Street and to the Hung Shing (God
of the South Seas and weather prophet) Temple at the juncture
of the sea lane and the land road, and the Tin Hau Temple (the
queen of Heaven and Protectress of seafarers) and take a look,
you will find out what they are worshipping is the fishermen's
tutelary spirit, by burning incense with many worshipers joining
in.
