Minsk was in a pretty sorry state when we visited in 2015 - the ship was looking worse for wear, and the aircraft on board were even worse.  When I saw her she was in Yantian, which is very close to Hong Kong (the hills you can see in the background behind the ship in some of the photos are Hong Kong on the other side of the channel), but it wasn't that easy to get to from Hong Kong - you had to catch the Train to Shenzen, and then find a taxi to drive you about half an hour to the ship - even with a Chinese speaking companion it was a mission finding a taxi driver who knew how to get there.Sometime after we visited she was closed and towed to Shanghai to be refurbished for a theme park, but that didn't happen. She was recently badly damaged by a fire, and will probably never open again.
