Thus, the museum can be ranked as a paradise for ship enthusiasts. In the museum, visitors can appreciate hundreds of exhibits, such as shipping antiques, ship models, documents and paintings.

The museum mainly consists of an ancient hall and a modern hall, with the exhibition area of 500 square meters. In the ancient hall, the most attractive collection is a valuable ship model with a history of two thousands of years, dating back to the Han Dynasty.
