Visit the Qing Dynasty Beiyang Fleet's flagship, the Garden Ship

During the Sino-Japanese War, which broke out due to the Donghak Peasant Movement in Korea, the Qing Dynasty's naval power was the best in Asia. And at the center of it all were the 7,000-ton flagships, the Jeongwon and Jinwon. At that time, these two ships were the best warships that even Germany, the country of manufacture, did not have. Because of this, the Qing Navy possessed a powerful naval force. The problem was that although the items were the best, the shells and weapons were poor due to corruption in military supplies. Because of this, they were defeated miserably by the Japanese, who were considered inferior. And the commanders, who were worried that the battleships would fall into the hands of the Japanese, made the choice to sink them themselves. However, among those battleships, the Jeongwon has been restored and is on display at Weihai Yugong Island. The photos are from there. Korea. China. Along with the complicated modern history, A place where you can see the best warships of the time with your own eyes.. Isn't it worth visiting once? ^^ #China travel #Weihai #Yugongdo #Gyeongwonham
