The replica of the 18th century Swedish merchant ship “Gotheborg” arrived in China’s largest commercial center Shanghai Tuesday after a 10-day voyage from Guangzhou, capital of south China’s Guangdong Province.
The ship is scheduled to stay in the metropolis for two months before a two-week stay in a shipyard in Shanghai’s neighboring Zhejiang Province that will bring its China tour to an end.
During a month-long stay in Guangzhou, the ship was visited at least 2.5 million times since it arrived in the city on July 18 and more than 80,000 people were allowed to board the ship, according to local tourism authorities.
