China's first domestically made polar icebreaker Xuelong 2, or Snow Dragon 2, is expected to be greeted by fans in the country's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) next month, according to the event organizer on Saturday.
The vessel will arrive in Hong Kong for the very first time on April 8 for a five-day visit, accompanied by many top-tier scientists, including the team leader of the country's 40th Antarctic expedition, said Ho Kin-chung, chairman of the event's executive committee.
