A 75-meter-long retired submarine is to become the center-piece
exhibit in China's first submarine museum in northeast China's port city of
Dalian, Liaoning Province.
According to construction plans, a museum covering
16,000 square meters will be built around the retired Chinese People's
Liberation Army (PLA) submarine.
With an estimated investment of 87 million
yuan (US$11.24 million). the museum will allow people to experience life on
submarine and provide three-dimension animation programs. Planners hope the
museum can become a new tourism highlight of the city.
Wang Shichang, the
PLA's first captain of such submarines came up with the idea for such a
museum.
