Fishing to live, and living to fish, has been the story of Aberdeen and its people for approximately 700 years. Even today its links with the sea remain deeply en- trenched. The thrust of high-rise buildings, * the signs of obvious prosperity, droves of tourists, and the continuing movement of the boat-dwellers to safer homes ashore, have not obliterated the essential character of this port settlement on the south side of Hong Kong Island. Always, there is the enticing bustle of its harbour seemingly choked with a conglomeration of junks, sampans, masts and rigging, the chugging of a motorised junk leaving or returning from open waters; the taste of salt in the air; a whiff of nets or fish drying and the pervading smell of the sea. With a popula tion that has grown to over 66,000, Aberdeen has a distinctive vitality which attracts many visitors for whom the sea- food at its internationally-renowned float- ing restaurants is a particular fascination." Closely allied with rapid development of the surrounding district including the important light industrial belt at Wong Chuk Hang- improved road access is moving swiftly ahead. On completion of the Aberdeen Tunnel late in 1981, travel- ling time from the crowded northern side, of the island will be significantly improved. Much-needed land has already been open- ed up by the new bridge link with the neighbouring island of Ap Lei Chau.
