Titanic Liner Replica Being Constructed In China

Of course, the new ship is never intended to make it to the ocean, because the building site is more than 700 miles away from the nearest water. It will serve as some kind of amusement park in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. That’s 850 miles from Hong Kong and 940 from Beijing. The finished project is expected to welcome its first visitors in about a year.

With this kind of tragic historic remembrance, would there be plans elsewhere to do similar disaster reproductions? There’s already a replica of Noah’s Ark in Kentucky. How about Napoleon’s Retreat From Moscow, Custer’s Last Stand, the L.A. Dodgers in the 2017 World Series and Hillary’s Presidential Campaign?

Victoria, BC: Hotel Zed Takes You Back To The Past PDF Print E-mail


If you plan to visit this beautiful west coast Canadian city, consider enjoying a night or more at the iconic Hotel Zed. The creative staff plans all kinds of special holiday events during the coming months, but any visit, especially by nostalgic seniors, can be loads of fun.

It may begin with your pick-up at the airport by a vintage 1950s Volkswagen camper vans when your flight arrives for a free ride to the downtown hotel. Then, as you go through the lobby, you’ll encounter rows of ...not the latest laptops....but 1960s electric and manual typewriters.

The hallways and room decor also reflect the bright, happy vinyl and Ikea memories of many readers of travel4eniors.com. To keep the mood, instead of the little smartphones, guests can call anywhere on the vintage rotary phones. There are also free bikes to pedal when exploring the beautiful streets of Victoria.
