    this is a 1:1 replica of the original Ting Yuen of the Imperial Chinese Navy...and these pics shows it returning to the port of Weihaiwei...where it was scuttled following the defeat of the Sino-Japanese war of 1894

Great Pictures!

I am sure that the replica of Ting Yuen is used as a tourist attraction!

Thats my favorite era for battleships I must say.  I live very close to the USS Olympia which was Deweys flagship at Manilla in 1898.  It can still fire its guns and occasionally does for special occasions.

Weihaiwei is the old name of Weihai city in Shandong Province.

the last "wei" means a fortification. Weihaiwei was the naval base of the Beiyang Fleet during late Qing period. The city had been forced leased to the British as colony in 1898 for 30 years and returned to China in the 1920s.
