Aberdeen

Hello

What /where is Aberdeen? Why is it included in most of the tour packages I see for Hong Kong? Is it worth doing this and for how long? Thanks!

Aberdeen

It is a fishing harbour on the south side of Hong Kong Island. I guess the Jumbo Floating Restaurant has been spending a lot of money on marketing it, but their food is not particular good, the gimmick are sampan rides and chinese decoration in the restaurant, whether it worth or not depends on whether you are interested in these.

wow. that was a quick response. thanks tin.

just a couple of other questions, how do i get there from Tsim Sha Tsui? and how much does it cost to take a sampan ride in Aberdeen?

thank you!!!!

If you are eating at the Jumbo, you get free sampan connection between shore and the floating restaurant. If you want to take some extra sampan ride, HK$50 is more or less a reasonable price, remember to haggle.

thanks tin! that was very helpful.

i will surely take note of your advice!

have a nice day!
