Minsk World, Military theme park in Dapeng Bay, Shenzhen, China

Minsk World was a military theme park in Dapeng Bay, Shatoujiao, Shenzhen, centred on the former Soviet aircraft carrier Minsk. Visitors could tour four decks, including the flight deck and hangar deck, where living quarters and armament were displayed. The flight deck held a raised stage with a blue and red chevron backdrop and a white five-pointed star, used for ceremonies. The grey hull, with a red star near the bow, carried hull number 015.

The carrier served in the Soviet Pacific Fleet before a major accident led to its retirement and sale to China in 1995. It was later converted into a public park to make Soviet military history accessible to visitors.

Staff members dress in military uniforms and perform musical shows regularly on the flight and hangar decks throughout the day. These performances transform the vessel into an active gathering space for visitors.

Visitors can walk through four decks of the carrier to explore different areas and equipment displays. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended as there is considerable walking involved in exploring all the levels.

The park houses a notable collection of Soviet-era military aircraft including the MiG-23 fighter and Mi-24 helicopter displayed on the carrier. These aircraft types are rarely seen outside of dedicated military museums and represent important developments in Soviet aviation technology.
