Frank hopes Jumbo Floating Restaurant can reopen later

Frank hopes the closed Jumbo Floating Restaurant can reborn later

Frank the tour guide shares his hope for the reopening of Jumbo Floating Restaurant at Aberdeen Fishing Village in his post at Easy Hong Kong Private Tour blog. 

The once grand restaurant closed in the early 2020 due to 2019 riots and 2020 pandemic.

Frank's post on 30 October 2020 is actually about Jumbo Floating Restaurant fire accident on 30 October 1971.

The fire destroyed the boat.

Macau casino tycoon, Stanley Ho, became its saviour as he invested money to build a boat.

Will the restaurant get a new saviour when the situation gets better?

Frank hopes he can have big meal with clients at the reopened Jumbo in 2021!

Four highlights you can see during the Aberdeen sampan ride

Four Aberdeen sampan ride highlights

You can see four highlights during the Aberdeen sampan ride.

(1)Jumbo Floating Restaurant

If you upload the photo of this floating palace to your Facebook or Instagram, you can get lots likes. 

(2)Deep Bay Marina Club

Opposite to the Jumbo, that is the Deep Bay Marina Club, where you can find lots of rich people's toys, e.g. Jacky Chen's yacht. 

According to the old fishermen, the area was only a graveyard in the past. 

"Going to Deep Bay" was a curse!

(3)The floating fishermen community

Although the floating population is ever-reducing, you can still see their fishing boats, house boats, dragon boats, shipyards etc. 

Some of the fishermen even stop their work and pose for your photographs. 

(4)Ap Lei Chau, a world record island

The opposite side of Aberdeen is Ap Lei Chau Island. 

Its size is only 1.3 km² . As the government resettles lots of fishermen to this tiny island, it becomes the most densely populated island in the world (2011 figure: 66,755 people / km²!!!).

There are private tour options, which include the interesting sampan ride at Aberdeen. You may browse the attached links...
