The name was lost in translation \u2013 the British thought it was the name of the entire island \u2013 but even today, the locals call it \u201cLittle Hong Kong\u201d (\u9999\u6e2f\u4ed4). It can be tricky to define the boundaries of Aberdeen, but it\u2019s generally considered to be the area spanning across Wong Chuk Hang, Ap Lei Chau, Tin Wan, Wah Kwai, Wah Foo, and Ap Lei Chau.<\/p>\n<h2>Things to do in Aberdeen, Hong Kong<\/h2>\n<h3>1.
