Is this what the entire providence was like before the mass immigration?

Hong Kong was a series of fishing villages before the British took over to set up a crown colony, and remnants still exist. Lei Yue Mun is one of several fishing villages that survive today.

I wouldn't have thought that these fishing villages still existed.
