Address: 8 Laiyang Road, Shinan District, Qingdao, Shandong, China

Dates visited 4 October 2014, 30 December 2019

The first time I went to the Chinese Navy Museum in Qingdao (Tsingtao) a number of their ships were absent due to construction works, and when I went back in 2019 the entire museum was closed, and I had to resort to walking around the perimeter taking photos. But across the two visits, I managed to spot the following ships:

The ex-Soviet WW2 Gnevny class destroyer Anshan (ex-Rekordny)

The Frigate Jinan

A Luda II class Destroyer

An Osa class missile boat (or possibly a Chinese clone)

A Hovercraft

Four Motor Torpedo Boats

Two Patrol boats, and

A Landing Craft.

The nuclear submarine Long March is also there - but is technically a separate museum.

I believe they have at least one more frigate and possibly some diesel submarines which were absent for both of my visits.

There is also a large number of guns, missiles, planes, tanks and various other exhibits which were all just piled together - almost on top of each other. I haven’t been back since the museum reconstruction has been completed, but I am sure they will be better laid out now.
