Aberdeen in Hong Kong shares a likeness with Pluit in Jakarta due to their waterfront communities and the presence of a significant fishing industry. Aberdeen is traditionally known as a fishing village in the southern district of Hong Kong Island. It has managed to preserve much of its maritime heritage, with numerous boats and sampans still plying the waters of its harbor. One of Aberdeen's most iconic sights is the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, which is a famous tourist attraction offering seafood dining on an elaborately decorated boat. Amidst the old and traditional, Aberdeen is modernizing, with high-rise apartment buildings and commercial complexes increasingly shaping its skyline. The neighborhood provides a contrast between old and new Hong Kong, with traditional fish markets coexisting alongside modern recreational facilities such as the Aberdeen Promenade and Aberdeen Marina Club. Residents enjoy the unique combination of seaside allure and the convenience of city life, with easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
