Zheng He Treasure Shipyard

For those who have checked out the Zheng He exhibit at Jinghai Temple, the Treasure Shipyard might be a good afternoon trip. Near where the Qinhuai River meets the Yangtze in the north of the city, the Treasure Shipyard has a few interesting archaeological pieces, a treasure ship “replica” by a loose use of the word and a series of bronze steles depicting Zheng He’s journeys. The “docks” where Zheng’s boats were built have been partially restored to their original condition.
