Minsk, Soviet aircraft carrier museum in Yantian District, China.

Minsk is a Soviet-era aircraft carrier museum now permanently docked in Yantian District along the southern coast of China, where visitors can walk through the decks of a genuine naval warship. The vessel spans approximately 273 meters (896 feet) in length and includes multiple levels with flight deck areas, command rooms, crew quarters, and weapon systems preserved for public viewing.

Minsk was laid down in 1972 at the Black Sea Shipyard in Mykolaiv, launched on 30 September 1975, and commissioned on 27 September 1978. It served with the Soviet Pacific Fleet, including a 1979 transfer voyage from Sevastopol around Africa to Vladivostok, and was decommissioned on 30 June 1993. Sold for scrap in 1995, it was resold to China and opened as the Minsk World theme park in Shenzhen in 2000.

The ship's name comes from the Belarusian capital, Minsk. At Minsk World in Shenzhen, visitors walked the flight deck and saw the hangar and crew spaces converted into displays on Soviet Pacific Fleet service, including the 1979 ejection of cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko and his death in a Yak-38 crash on the deck on 8 September 1980.

The museum is reachable by shuttle bus or local taxi from Yantian metro area, with most visitors spending around two to three hours exploring the ship. Guided tours in several languages help with orientation across the large vessel and explain the military functions of different sections.

Minsk was bought in 1998 by a Chinese company, Minsk Aircraft Carrier Industry Co Ltd, for $5 million after a South Korean yard had already taken it for scrapping. The ship had earlier been saved from the scrapyard when a group of Chinese video-game arcade owners formed the Shenzhen Minsk Investment Company and paid $4.3 million for it.
