Jumbo Kingdom consists of the Jumbo Floating Restaurant and the adjacent Tai Pak Floating Restaurant. These are renowned tourist attractions in Aberdeen Harbour. Over 30 million visitors have visited Jumbo Kingdom, including Queen Elizabeth II, John Wayne, David Bowie, Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chow Yun Fat, Stephen Chow and Gong Li. 

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. On 30 October 1971, a 4-alarm fire occurred at the Jumbo Floating Restaurant before its opening which left 34 dead and 42 injured. The Jumbo Kingdom went through a major multimillion-dollar renovation in 2003.
