Brief information on Shekou Sea World  

Shekou Sea World is actually built around a ship, Named Minghua. However, the ship (originally called Anceveller) was, in the 1960s, a luxury yacht belonging to the then French president, Charles De Gaulle.  In 1973, the ship, purchased by China and subsequently renamed Minghua, was permanently anchored at Shekou, Shenzhen.  It is now a hotel and entertainment complex-much in the vein of Langui Fang in Hong Kong and   “Xintiandi” in Shanghai.

With a height of 9 decks and a length of 168 meters,  Sea World now boasts  a 1,000 m² lobby, a 2,000m² café lounge, a 3-D cinema, a four star hotel  a nightclub and a fully-equipped gymnasium. The site also boasts a 12,000 m²bar street, called Sea World Café Bars, and it regularly attracts hordes of foreign and domestic tourists alike. The famous bars and cafes here include Kosmo Coffee, SPR Coffee, Nutaste Coffee, Sun Bar, Italian Bar, Fisherman’s Wharf, to name but a few.  At Sea World, travellers can relish the delights of a myriad of cultures from around the world, from the Spanish fiesta to the Munich beer festival; from Britain’s Notting Hill Carnival to the Paris food festival; as well as from the passionate Brazilian festivals to the romantic Hawaiin folk festival.
