French ocean liner moored as the centerpiece of a waterfront plaza, with dining, bars, and shows.
This guide to Sea World in Shenzhen follows one ship's journey: a French ocean liner launched in 1962 by Charles de Gaulle, sold to China after her final Atlantic crossing in 1973, and rechristened Minghua for a very different mission, ferrying workers to build the TAZARA Railway between Tanzania and Zambia. It picks up the story when she arrived in Shekou in 1983, just as Deng Xiaoping's Special Economic Zone experiment was taking shape, and the hotel with restaurants, a dance hall and a swimming pool she quickly became. A leader's visit that Christmas gave this whole complex its name.
