 Jumbo Floating Restaurant | Restaurant Review | Hong Kong | Frommers.com
No doubt you've heard about Hong Kong's floating restaurant in Aberdeen, in operation for more than a quarter of a century and claiming to be the largest floating restaurant in the world.
Although often included in Hong Kong's organized nighttime tours, the restaurant was steadily loosing out to newer, more authentic, and more affordable restaurants, prompting it to reinvent itself in 2004 as the Jumbo Kingdom, a complex housing a restaurant, retail shops, and an exhibit on the history of Chinese fishing communities.
At any rate, if you've always wanted to eat in a floating restaurant, simply take the bus to Aberdeen and then board one of the Jumbo Kingdom's own free shuttle boats, with departures every few minutes.
