Hong
Kong. It is part of the

Aberdeen
Harbour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aberdeen was named, in
1845, after
the British
Secretary of State for War and the Colonies,
George Hamilton-Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen. It is famous to tourists
for the
boat
people living in the harbour and the floating seafood restaurants such
as the
Jumbo Floating Restaurant. The
boat people are generally associated with the fishing industry, and
there are also several dozen expatriates living on boats in the harbour.
Aberdeen is known indigenously as Heung Kong Tsai or Hong Kong Tsai (香港仔),
which means Hong Kong Minor. It is believed that Aberdeen is where the name
of Hong Kong (more accurate transcription, Heung Kong) originates. Heung
Kong Tsuen (香港村, Hong Kong village) on Ap Lei Chau was mentioned in
Ming maps. Another walled-village
Heung Kong Wai in Wong Chuk Hang was also founded during
Qianlong
era of Qing.
Heung Kong mean Fragrant Harbour, where incense trees (Aquilaria
sinensis) from
New Territories were transferred here to export to other cities in
China. One
alternative Chinese name was "Shek Pai Wan"[1]
(石排灣?).
