Guided Tours for the Fisherfolks' Lifestyle and Culture
Aberdeen
has the richest history among all locations in the Southern District. The
history of fisheries and fishing communities in Aberdeen are invaluable
cultural treasures. We
Are With You Project will help the local community to preserve and turn its
rich culture and history into social capital. HKU students work closely
with the community to piece together vanishing life stories of the fishing
communities and reveal them through guided tours.
