Investigations are underway after the floating nightspot of Hong Kong’s famous Jumbo Palace was towed into the sea and sank. A huge restaurant, decorated in the style of the Chinese Imperial Palace, was captured and sunk in the South China Sea on Sunday. The owner, Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprise, encountered a “bad condition” as the 80-meter (260-foot) barge passed through the Paracel Islands, about 400 miles south-southwest of Hong Kong’s home port. The company said, “I was very sad about this accident,” but because it was submerged in 1,000 meters of water, “rescue work is very difficult.” A popular feature of Hong Kong’s harbor has become a white elephant for its owners. Owners paid millions of dollars for inspection and maintenance as the site was forced to shut down in 2020 due to COVID-19 and received no reward. Pandemic. After a failed sale or transfer of Jumbo Palace, it was towed from the port on June 14 for maintenance at a cheaper mooring site. Two weeks before departure, a kitchen boat moored next to it leaked and went public. The restaurant has starred in several films over the years, including Jackie Chan’s 1985 film, The Protector, The God of Comedy Culinary, Infernal Affairs II, an action film, and Hollywood’s Thriller Contagion. The nightspot has been destroyed in the Japanese monster movie Godzilla vs. Destroya and the NBC miniseries Noble House. Contrary to claims from several sources, the Hong Kong casino scene in the 1974 James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun wasn’t filmed in a restaurant until 1976. Famous guests at the restaurant for many years include Queen Elizabeth II and actor Tom Cruise.
