 In its 21 years in Hong Kong, the first restaurant operated in eight locations, including the area in front of a mansion called Windermere, Sai Lam Temple, Lek Yuen, and the current site of the Sha Tin Jockey Club Swimming Pool.In 1986 the Lands Department offered the site, near the anchorage of the old floating restaurant, for tender.It was intended from the beginning to resemble a true floating restaurant but sit on piles, as the Shatin Lands Office stated that a restaurant vessel could no longer be operated on the Shing Mun River.
