Hong Kong Tours | Sampan
Behind the tall buildings and modernized way of living in Hong Kong, the city started from a simple beginning just like everyone else. It is worth knowing how some Hong Kong locals lived before. One of which is the boat people, also known as ‘Tanka’- water dwellers who lived literally on a boat called SAMPAN-a small wooden boat also known as the Chinese shoe-boat.
Sampans are generally used for transportation in coastal areas or rivers and are often used as traditional fishing boats
