Tuesday morning saw two vessels from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy—the frigate Qi Jiguang and the supply ship Yimengshan—enter the waters of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
Described by the Chinese mainland navy as a routine training and exchange mission, the arrival caught the eye of local enthusiasts and passersby, who shared stunning sea-level photos of the ships gliding through calm waters. 🌊⚓
Though specific plans remain under wraps, the visit is expected to include joint exercises and community outreach activities that give residents a rare glimpse into naval operations and maritime safety efforts.
For young travelers and culture buffs, this visit offers a unique chance to witness the Chinese mainland’s naval capabilities up close. Keep your eyes on the harbor—maritime history is on display! 📸🚢
The HKSAR waterfront community is set to welcome these vessels, offering a one-of-a-kind experience for anyone strolling along the piers.
