Chinese Destroyer Xi'an

The Xi'an is a decommissioned Type 051 destroyer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. Now serving as a museum ship, it allows visitors to board a real warship to view its decks and interior compartments, providing a direct look at naval military history.

Getting There

The ship is located along the riverfront in the central district of Wuhan. From the city center, it is accessible via local taxi or public transit. Depending on your starting point and traffic, the trip typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to explore the vessel and read the informational displays on board.

When to Visit

Visiting during weekday mornings is recommended to avoid the larger crowds that gather on weekends and public holidays. Because the attraction is outdoors and on the water, avoid visiting during extreme summer heat or heavy rain.

The ship is situated within walking distance of several other landmarks. You can combine this visit with the following nearby sites:

  • Hankow Customs House: 0.4km
  • Saint Joseph's Cathedral: 0.7km
  • Jiali Plaza: 1km
