Stern view of a sampan, green canopy and small flags, shuttling visitors to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Aberdeen, Hong Kong

The sun (behind the camera) shines on a sampan, shuttling visitors to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, which, decorated in the style of an ancient Chinese imperial palace, was designed and built by Hong Kong magnate Stanley Ho for HK$ 30 million. Since opening in October 1976, the floating restaurant has attracted 30 million visitors. Ornamental golden barges also shuttle visitors, both local and tourist, free of charge, to the Jumbo Pier on Aberdeen Promenade.
