While ther on business, I actually got a chance to hit buckets for a few hours there and shank a few onto the deck "Ouch!" It's a great place to see and I have enjoyed my visit(s) there for business. Also check out the Ming Hua Convetnion Center Hotel- Nice place with an indoor bowling alley! If you look closely at the sat-photo, you’ll see a golf driving range along its port side.

I used to live in the apartments that look over it which you can see are being built in this picture.

From memory, there was only about 150 passengers on board. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the Chinese crew.
