The Lost World In The City. Hong Kong.

The settlement on the water Aberdeen fishing village, which is still home to hereditary fishermen and their families. They live in boats and floating houses, and very close to bubbling life of the modern big city with neon lights, computer technology, skyscrapers and buzzing machines.

Just a couple of centuries ago, Aberdeen was a haven for pirates. The time has come, and the British military set foot on Chinese soil dispersed offshore hooligans. Aberdeen became a fishing village, which has been preserved to our days.

02.

Huge city, close to the bustling village, did not touch the traditional life of the inhabitants of Aberdeen, everything here is how many years ago.

03.

You could take a guided tour, a ride on the speed boat at anchor along the rows of fishing junks, and dine in the prestigious seafood restaurant, but the real heroes are always around, so I did. I found a regular fishing boat, reached an agreement with the simplest, most ordinary fisherman and hit the road with him in his native place.

Settlers of Aberdeen are direct descendants of the ancient peoples of the tank and Hockley. These people traditionally spend their whole lives in water and used their boat as a residential and work places. In the past they were known as "Children of the ships."

Now, of course, in many homes of the fishermen came and technological progress - washing machines, refrigerators, television sets, but still remain and these houses are not twinkling blue TV screens and wash the old fashioned way - by hand.
