Aberdeen
area on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong
🇨🇳 China · 22.2478, 114.1520
Aberdeen is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
“Although producers also intended to establish a filming location in one of the many casinos in Macau, the Jumbo Floating Restaurant in Hong Kong's Aberdeen Harbour was used instead for the casino setting, as filming within the vicinity of a gambling establishment is prohibited by law.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Aberdeen as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
- Contagion 2011

A Better Tomorrow
1986
“Other filming locations include the former Central Police Station, the Wo Hop Shek Public Cemetery, and the shipyards in Aberdeen.” Wikipedia
Named here by Aberdeen’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Aberdeen, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
