One of the most renowned tourist attractions in Hong Kong, the 46-year-old Jumbo Floating Restaurant, will be leaving Aberdeen Harbor in June due to financial difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The luxurious, imperial-style, floating restaurant, which has hosted numerous notable figures and celebrities, including Queen Elizabeth II and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, was established in 1976 after four years of craftsmanship funded by two late Hong Kong business tycoons, Stanley Ho and Cheng Yu-tung.
