A floating restaurant, which has a history of more than 40 years and has become a tourist attraction in Hong Kong, sank in the South China Sea during a tow on the 19th of this month, and the cause is being investigated.

The water restaurant "Jumbo Kingdom" is a tourist attraction in Hong Kong with a history of more than 40 years, and has welcomed many guests from all over the world, including Queen Elizabeth of England.



However, due to the effects of the new coronavirus and other factors, the business situation continued to be severe, and business was suspended from the beginning.



The floating restaurant was sailing away from the port where it was moored on the 14th of this month because no underwriter for the facility was found, but according to the operating company, it sank in the South China Sea on the 19th of this month.



According to the media, the restaurant was not injured by the crew because water entered near the Paracel Islands, the English name of the Paracel Islands, and the hull tilted and sank.



The sea area at the site is at a depth of 1000 meters or more, and it is extremely difficult to lift it. According to the local media, the cause is being investigated by listening to the crew.
