Harbour Depths: A Fishing Stroll through Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau

DESCRIPTION

Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau still carry the rich heritage of fishing life. Along the waterfronts on both shores, artistic installations share the stories and traditions passed down by generations of fisherfolk. Led by senior docent Mak Yung‑sung, this tour — an extension of Deep Food’s project “Aberdeen Fishing Dreams” — takes participants on foot through the harbour community. With a ride on a kaito ferry, you’ll see how the fishing village has transformed from past to present.

Route:
·    Walk to Tin Hau Temple
·    Stroll to the Warehouse Teenage Club, passing by the now-vanished Shan Loon Tse Kee Fish Ball stall, “Fifteen Houses” and its “Shan Loon” (cave in Cantonese)
·    From Aberdeen Promenade to the pier, board a kaito with art installations and sail to Ap Lei Chau
·    Visit Hung Shing Temple
·    Explore the “Big and Small Duck Eggs” in Ap Lei Chau Park
·    Conclude at the Hung Shing Street murals
