In the midst of Hong Kong’s bustling cityscape, there are still pockets of traditional fishing villages that offer a glimpse into a way of life that is rapidly changing.
Nestled in the lush greenery of Aberdeen Promenade in Hong Kong is a temporary structure that resembles the houseboats of yore. The Fishing Culture Museum, as it is called, showcases exquisite models of dragon boats, colourful fishing hats, display panels with historic photos of Aberdeen Harbour, and a cloth signboard at the entrance.
