Jumbo Kingdom

Jumbo Kingdom (traditional Chinese: 珍寶王國) consists of the Jumbo Floating Restaurant (珍寶海鮮舫) and the Tai Pak Floating Restaurant (太白海鮮舫), renowned tourist attractions in Hong Kong's Aberdeen Harbour. Over 30 million visitors have visited Jumbo Kingdom, including Queen Elizabeth II, John Wayne, Tom Cruise, Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li. There was also a Jumbo Kingdom Manila in Manila Bay, Philippines, but was closed after 8 years of operation. Jumbo Kingdom is part of Melco International Development Limited (新濠國際發展有限公司), a company listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

History

The Jumbo Kingdom was established in October 1976 by Dr. Stanley Ho after four years and over HK$30 million were spent to design and build it. It was originally decorated in the style of an ancient Chinese imperial palace.

In 1971 a fire occurred at the restaurant. Up to 34 workers were killed.

In 2000, two tugboats brought one of the floating barges (Palace) from the Aberdeen Harbour to the mouth of the Manila Bay, and was rebranded as the "Jumbo Kingdom Manila". Much of the original ancient Chinese imperial palace style renovation has been retained.

The Jumbo Kingdom recently went through a major multi-million dollar renovation, which transformed it into a theme park on the sea including dining, shopping, sightseeing and cultural attractions.

Well this is a must go place when you are in Hongkong. My tip is to go there at night. Because you can see all the Hongkong city lights in between ferries & Jumbo restaurant. The food is magnificent!

Great dim sum, great tea, great dishes, great scenery! (Perhaps the only drawback would be the cost, but the ambience would be enough to cover it up). Try the 小笼包 and the 烧鸭酥!

Wonderful dim sum. We had the steamed pork dumpling, steamed barbecue pork bun, and steamed shrimp dumpling. Very tasty. Also had cashew shrimp and an order of vegetable fried rice. Best tea in Asia.

This is the must go to place when in Hong Kong. The experience starts when you board the shuttle boat in & continues all evening. Trust me and just go.

The scenery is great and the food is between OK and good (dim sum are in the latter category). The best is the trip to go there, with the free shuttle boat. The worst is the price of the food.

Immense complexe de restaurants-cantines pour touristes chinois. Choisissez le Dragon Court, + intime (plus cher) pour ses superbes dim sum (au caviar, truffe, abalones,...). Porc laqué. Excellent !
