Chengdu Wanlihao Ship Building (get KMZ at here)

Chengdu Wanlihao is a special building because it looks like a sailing cruise ship. As this special feature, it became a new landmark after be built at once.

Wanlihao is the name of this ship. It is seated on the bank of Jinjiang. Its original place is an old bridge, named "Old Southern Bridge".(Lao Nan Men Bridge). It was a stone bridge rebuilt in Qing dynasty. But the history can be extended to Three Kingdom period. Zhuge Liang ( this great man I will introduce him at another place and time) sent off Wu's emissary and said "Your long way is beginning at this bridge." This word makes the bridge to the oldest bridge which can be found in paper history, with the name Wanli. The ship building inherit the famous name.

Now, the bridge is disappeared instead of ship building. This building has 8 floors. 1st to 5rd floors are kinds of shops,restaurant,cafe,bars. My friends told me the bars are very good, but I never try at here. 5th to 7th floors are very good restaurant. The feature of 5th floor is normal Sichuan Dishes, 6th floor is better Sichuan Dishes and Guangdong Dishes, 7th is teahouse. The best is 6th, as it has the best view.
