Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The water people of Hong Kong are born; live and die aboard the junks and small craft that populate the busy harbor. At Aberdeen; the fishing village; alone; there are 38;000 people at best estimate living on 3;000 tiny vessels. You can take cruises through this bustling maritime world but you can also catch a bus to Aberdeen and do your tour on a private sampan for 50 cents an hour.
