Mexican ship arrives in style
The sailing ship ARM Cuauhtemoc of the Mexican Navy anchored at the Chinese Navy's Yangtze River Wharf in Shanghai on Thursday morning to start its six-day visit to the city.
Cuauhtemoc, built in Bilbao, Spain, in 1982, made an impressive sight as it arrived with dozens of seamen standing on its tall masts.
Shanghai is the 11th stop on the ship's world voyage to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Constitution. It will leave for South Korea, Japan and the United States after visiting China.
During its stay in Shanghai, the crew will have exchange visits with the Chinese Navy, playing basketball with Chinese marines and organizing mutual deck receptions.
The Mexican sailors will also visit local scenic spots, such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall and Yuyuan Garden.
This is the fourth port call in Shanghai by Cuauhtemoc, which is about 90 meters long and 12 meters wide.
