  • Old, Dated, Hard to Find - But Worth It

    Minsk world is, first off, hard to find - unless you have a local pop the directions down for the taxi or buses. We managed to get to Shenzhen, see Minsk World, and then get out of Shenzhen on the same day.
    Minsk World is old and run down. It has not been kept well and really does look neglected. Once it may have been bright and new, not now. But forget the entrance, have a look at the helicopters, jets, ASMs and SAMs around the front then run down to the real exhibit - the Minsk herself. Although you do not get the run of the ship enough of her is open to be interesting, the exhibits are engaging (enjoy the Chinglish signs) and the flight deck is full of aircraft - albeit rusting away.
    Its not as good as some of the US static carriers, but hey, its ex CCCP and has some interesting hardware. And its cheap.
    If you're an enthusiast I'd put aside 3 to 4 hours to go right over the whole display.
