Traditionally a fishing village, Aberdeen has transformed into a busy hub for industrial and residential use, boating and other recreational purposes. There is still a large element of its old past intact, which gives Aberdeen its charm and clout among destinations for tourists. Among the popular destinations are the floating Jumbo and the Tai Bei Seafood Restaurants in Aberdeen Bay which are serviced by Sampans shuttling customers back and forth through the marina. Other facilities located here are the Aberdeen Marina Club, a member’s only club with facilities that cater to families with boats moored in the harbor. Strolling down along the old Hong Kong Tsai streets will lead you to the Hung Shing (God of the South Sea and Weather prophet) Temple at the junction of the sea lane, land road and Tin Hau (Queen of the Heavens and the protectoress of the Seafarers) Temples.

Aberdeen unfortunately is not covered by the MTR line which stops at Sheung Wan station, the furthest Western point on the Island. There are though, many buses and minibuses which make Aberdeen a part of its route allowing Aberdeen to be easily accessed from many directions. The Aberdeen tunnel ($3 charge) which links Causeway Bay and Aberdeen at the mouth of Shouson Hill Road also makes traveling to the South Side very easy.
