Tianjin Leisure Port/ Aircraft Carrier Park (Chinese name)
Tianjin Leisure Port/ Aircraft Carrier Park (Chinese name): This one is located roughly halfway between Tanggu and Hangu at the shore of the Bohai Sea. To get there take a bus/light rail to Tanggu and then a taxi (15 - 20 minutes ride). Alternatively, go to Hangu by bus and take a taxi there. Centrepiece of this new amusement park is the former soviet-russian aircraft carrier 'Kiev'. The ship is accessible and you can wander through the different rooms of the ship, such as the radar and control room, the aircraft hangar and so on. The interior, however, is mostly renovated and you don't get a real feeling of how it used to look like in Communist times. You can also access the deck where the aircrafts used to start and land. They have a collection of old MiG-Aircrafts there. Some of the weaponry is also on display. When I was there (last year) some more attractions were under construction in the surrounding area, for example a swimming pool with salt water and a mud bath and something like a restaurant and bar street. Should be finished by now.
Entrance fee is fairly steep at 100 RMB per person. I haven't heard of this one since last year - maybe it is bancrupt already? Any idea? Contributed by Matthias Bauer.
