Dandong's Naval Ship 573 "Open to Visit" (2023)

 Beautifully sunny day, scolding in heat, but beautiful all the same, my wife had some friends of ours who were in the province visiting family join us in Dandong to just have a day around so the kids could play together. These family friends of ours had never really spent much time touring around Dandong, whereas we have spent too much time touring around Dandong, however in all of our explorations, we had never come across this naval ship.

The ship is located outside of the scope of the bridge, its further, heading towards New District. The ship's tickets were not too expensive, for the price, meh. However for the kids, it would have been the first and potentially the only (in most likelihood) that they would walkaboard and observe.

There was not much to the history of the ship's significance as much as it was homeage to the ship's crew and the inner workings of the ship's basic functions.

The ship is interestingly enough, situated to the opposite of a portion of the North Korean border, and next to a recovered ship from what seems to be the late Qing Dynasty (unavailable for touring at this time).
