Hey everyone, exciting news from the naval front! The iconic Shandong aircraft carrier is leading a fleet that's set to visit Hong Kong from July 3 to 7.
This impressive squad – featuring the Yan'an and Zhanjiang missile destroyers along with the Yuncheng missile frigate – will host a series of open tours and cultural exchange activities. Approved by the Central Military Commission, the visit offers Hong Kong compatriots a unique, up-close look at modern advancements in national defense and military development. It also continues a longstanding tradition that began after Hong Kong's return to China in 1997, with previous visits starting in 2001 and the two most recent in 2024.
For our tech-savvy and culturally vibrant audience across South and Southeast Asia, this event is more than a military showcase—it’s a window into how innovation meets tradition. Whether you’re a defense enthusiast, a tech geek, or just curious about global trends, this visit offers a cool perspective on progress and heritage. Enjoy the fusion of modernity and culture! 🎉
