Residential blocks crowd Aberdeen’s small, lovely harbour, which is still filled with high-prowed wooden fishing boats despite the fact that overfishing and pollution have decimated the Hong Kong fishing industry. Ignore the ugly town centre and instead photograph the tyre-festooned sampans, or walk to the busy wholesale fish market at the western end of the harbour and watch the catches being loaded onto trucks and vans.
Fish market, Aberdeen Harbour

The guest list is fabulous (Naomi Campbell to Chow Yun-fat); the food masterful updates of French cuisine.

Opened in the 1950s and still going strong. The name was a trick to attract US servicemen on leave during the Korean War. Excellent Peking duck.

Supposedly the most densely populated island in the world, Ap Lei Chau (or Duck Island), opposite the Aberdeen waterfront, is crowded with new high-rise developments. Bargain hunters may find a visit to the discount outlets at the southern end of the island worthwhile (see Designer Outlets in Ap Lei Chau). Close to the ferry pier are some small family businesses, boatyards and temples that have survived the modern developments.

OK, it’s part of a supermarket, but breakfast on this sunny terrace with sea views is one of the Southside’s undiscovered bargains.
-
The glass frontage is integral: people come to be seen. But the high standard of modern Australian cuisine ensures it an enduring reputation.

Spanish wines by the glass or bottle serve as the perfect accompaniment to a tapas-cum-dim sum menu. Take a table on the street.

Cream of the crop of stylish bar-restaurants around Causeway Bay. The mixed crowd is watched over by pop-art portraits of Hitler, Mao and Mussolini.
-
Happy Valley has also been taken over by a host of trendy wine bars and eateries. The décor is, well, brown.
-
Barnacle-encrusted hulks and down-at-heel gin palaces rub gunwhales with multi-million dollar yachts in this packed haven from the “big winds” that regularly bear down on the South China coast. There are also quaint houseboats with homely touches like flower boxes permanently anchored behind the stone breakwater. The impressive edifice to the left as you look out to sea is the Hong Kong Yacht Club.
