An international multi-functional wharf, to be built in Xiamen, a coastal city of southeast China's Fujian province, is expected to be the largest of its kind in China on completion.
The dock basin, designed to cover a water area of about 800,000 square meters, can offer berths for 900 yachts with lengths between 10 and 30 meters. A five-star hotel and other supporting facilities will be built around the wharf.
At its planned location in the Kaiyuan District of Xiamen, the wharf will also provide services for tourism, recreation and body building, according to Cai Liangya, deputy head of the Kaiyuan District Government.
