A famous floating restaurant off Hong Kong has sunk, days after it was towed away from the harbour where it had operated for nearly 50 years. The Jumbo Floating Restaurant capsized in the South China Sea while on its way to an undisclosed location. According to the restaurant’s owner, it encountered “adverse conditions” as it was passing the Xisha Islands, also known as the Paracel Islands. Over the past four decades, Jumbo has served Cantonese cuisine to more than a million guests, including the Queen and Tom Cruise.
