The opening ceremony of the general meeting of the Maritime Day of China 2012. (By Yu Ping and Xiang Yong) The eighth general meeting of the Maritime Day of China and the China Nanjing Zheng He International Culture and Tourism Festival opened in Nanjing on July 11. July 11 is the Maritime Day of China, which was approved by the State Council in 2005. The day is to commemorate the first day Zheng He (1371–1433), famed Chinese navigator and adventurous admiral of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), led his fleet to voyage to the Western Sea for the first time. Zheng departed from Jiangsu on his maiden voyage, starting an unprecedented grand adventurous navigation with his seven times of voyage to the Western Sea. Jiangsu governor Li Xueyong said at the opening ceremony that Jiangsu, run across by the Yangtze River and facing the sea in its east, has unique advantages in developing shipping industry. Since China’s reform and opening up in 1978, Jiangsu province has established trade relations with over 220 countries and regions in the world, with the total import and export volume reaching US$538.9 billion and foreign investment introduced exceeding US$250 billion. The achievements of the open economy in Jiangsu are closely related to the grand development of the shipping industry. Now there are seven 100-million-ton-level ports and 390 10,000-ton-level berths in Jiangsu. The annual comprehensive traffic capacity of the ports in Jiangsu reaches 1.47 billion tons and more than 90 percent of the exported or imported commodities are shipped by sea. On the same day, the “Nanjing Treasure Shipyard” relic site park opened for free to 17,000 visitors. It was the world’s largest royal shipyard during the Ming Dynasty and once produced ships for Zheng He’s voyages.Maritime day of china 2012 held in nanjing - China Digital Counting Scales - Digital Kitchen Weighing ScaleMaritime day of china 2012 held in nanjing - China Digital Counting Scales - Digital Kitchen Weighing Scale We are high quality suppliers, our products such as China Digital Counting Scales , Digital Kitchen Weighing Scale for oversee buyer.
