This is why it is a hot region for tourism. One of the reasons for its popularity is that it focuses on keeping up the image and constantly improving the facilities for tourism.

Recently, after a famous international architecture competition, a Finland-based company has been awarded a project in China. the aim is to change an old dock into a submarine museum. This project will create an educating and culturally rich experience with a historical touch.

This museum is similar to the concept that was seen in Maritime Museum in Denmark. It also forms a path for the visitors to move from the museum towards the submarine which is a decommissioned Ming class submarine once operated by the PLA Navy. The dock will be open for exploration, and it will be filled with water partially to enhance the experience.

The PES-Architects state that “The building forms a symbiosis with the submarine and hovers over the dock as a mysterious, intriguing object with fantastic views towards the river, the dock, and the submarine.” Glass, steel, and wood will be used in the design of this museum. All three of them together make up an elegant outlook.

The construction of the museum will be completed in two phases. First, one will be done by the end of 2022 while the second will be completed in 2023.
