Description:

Minsk World is Shenzhen's most popular (and perhaps strangest) tourist attraction, a behemoth decomissioned Russian warship-cum-museum. Along the corridors inside the ship are museums featuring Soviet era propaganda posters, uniforms and military paraphernalia from the ships heyday, living quarters for both officers and sailors, theaters featuring ongoing movies about the ship and the Russian navy in general. There is also a vast armory featuring models of nuclear tipped missiles, torpedoes, and other weapons of mass destruction.
