Direct Answer • Key Takeaway
The History of Hong Kong’s Floating Restaurants Can Be Traced Back to the 1920S. These Restaurants, Which Were Mainly Near Wu Nam Street in Aberdeen Harbour Before Land Reclamation in 1978, Were Initially Run by Boat-Dwelling Tanka People. They Served Chinese and Seafood Dishes Mainly for Rich Businessmen, and Occasionally for Tanka’s Birthdays and Wedding Banquets. You Needed a Reservation in Those Days, and No Walk-Ins Were Entertained.
