Aberdeen Country Park is located on the south end of Hong Kong Island [1] near the area called Aberdeen,Hong Kong. Much of the south side of the island is underdeveloped and retains more of the rural feel that predominated on the island before it was settled by the British. The park extends to Wan Chai Gap on the north.
