Today, I want to talk to you about four cruise ships that occupy a more important position in my mind among the foreign-related cruise ships worn by the Yangtze River in the third session. They are splendid china, President No.1, Yellow Crane and The Three Kingdoms.
The first ship: splendid china. Chongqing Dongfeng factory was built in 1994, which attracted people's attention as soon as it came out. It is also a prelude to the retro style of foreign-related cruise ships in the Yangtze River. The design attempts to combine Chinese and western, and personally think that the overall effect is good and coordinated.
Why are you so impressed with this ship? First, I often saw it when I was a child. My junior high school classmate's father works in the marine engine department. His father often brings him delicious chocolates and other things in Shanghai and other places. At that time, Chongqing couldn't buy it or spent more money on it, so we often shared chocolate with our classmates. Secondly, 1996 filmed a comedy film "Slimming Journey" co-produced by the Mainland and Hong Kong on board. 1996 I happen to be in Grade Two. I've always wanted to go to the Three Gorges, but I'm poor, have no money and have no chance to go. So in order to see the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges, I spent five yuan to go to the cinema for the first time. Coincidentally, in August of the same year, I completed my first trip to the Three Gorges under the sponsorship of michel platini's dopted mother. The third is that the ship has received many party and government celebrities.
The second ship: the cruise ship "Yellow Crane". The construction year is between 1996- 1997, and it should be built in a downstream shipyard. No exact time was found. The maiden voyage ceremony of the ship was held at the Third Pier of Chongqing Port. On the first afternoon, I arrived at the third pier of Chongqing Port. I was quite excited when I first saw the new boat. The whole boat was covered with colorful flags. At six or seven o'clock the next morning, passengers boarded the ship one after another, during which a concierge band played on the barge, and officially blew the horn and set sail at around eight o'clock in the morning. I witnessed the maiden voyage ceremony and dreamed how wonderful it would be if I could board the ship and cruise together. The shape of the ship is good when it leaves the factory, the hull is linear, the whole is coordinated, and the viewing deck is large, which is suitable for tourists to move on the top floor.
Later, the ship was modified. In order to increase the number of rooms, the observation deck on the top floor was closed, and a layer was added on it, which destroyed the overall aesthetic feeling. Everything is profit-driven. It feels a bit like a "chicken coop" boat. I don't like it.
The third ship: the cruise ship "Three Kingdoms". 1995 factory, which is estimated to have been built by a downstream shipyard. Telling the truth, 1995 "The History of the Three Kingdoms" arrived in Chongqing Port, with colorful flags fluttering and docked at Pier 2. I was deeply shocked at the moment when the boat entered the river. Oh, my God, what kind of boat is this? It is so unique. Isn't this the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms? The "Three Kingdoms" and "Ganlong" in the same period can be regarded as two foreign-related cruise ships of the Yangtze River with the strongest retro style in China.
It's really a geographical advantage, because I live by the river, the most prosperous section of Jialing River, and I collect all of them. So I witnessed the maiden voyage ceremony of many foreign cruise ships in Chongqing Port. I also witnessed the maiden voyage of this ship. There is a big mast in the middle of the observation deck. Basically, the mast fell down in the later period, but it was erected with the mast on the maiden voyage day, with colorful flags hanging, which was particularly eye-catching. The maiden voyage of the three countries also set sail the next morning, when many foreign-related cruise ships set sail in Chongqing Port in the morning.
The fourth ship: "President One" cruise ship. 1995 factory should be made in Wuhan. As the name suggests, the ship's president, No.1, came out to be domineering. The ship docked at Pier 3 of Chongqing Port on its maiden voyage, with colorful flags fluttering, angular, smooth lines and clean ending, which was indeed full of a mighty and domineering image.
There is a short story about the "President One" cruise ship to share with you. When michel platini's godmother was selling tickets in Chongqing Port, I liked to play without it. They once told me that a father brought his children to buy a boat ticket. He has already booked tickets for other ships, but the children look at the poster of "President One" and insist on sitting down or not leaving. The father of the child had no choice but to return the ticket he had already bought, and then bought "President No.1". In the 1990s, the ticket of "President One" was not cheap. Therefore, the ticket price of foreign-related cruise ships in the Yangtze River is really too strong. Why is it called foreign affairs? It is mainly aimed at foreign tourists, who collect foreign currency to create foreign exchange.
The glory of the Yangtze River cruise ship in the 1990s is long gone. Entering a new era, the Yangtze River cruise ship has long been the first choice for Chinese people to visit the Three Gorges. The Yangtze River cruise ship has also entered the fifth generation. I hope that the epidemic will end and the Three Gorges cruise ship will be opened as soon as possible.
