She was built and put into operation in 1983. Though now 16-year-old ship, she still looks young as renovations have been done constantly in recent years. After an overhaul to upgrade it to a 4 star cruiser in 2001, she joined the well-known President Cruiser Lines. By far she is still one of the largest, most dedicatedly equipped cruiser ships on Yangtze River. 84 meters long in 2001, 16.4 meters wide, with a draft of 2.6 meters, she has a tonnage of 3470 and a maximum capacity of 152 passengers. The ship features 2 deluxe suites, 8 deluxe twins and 66 standard twins, all with central air-conditioning, satellite telephones, circuit TVs, view windows and private bathrooms. Quite a few "China's first" records were set up by her, in regard to ship's design, facilities, passenger recreations and many other service "patterns"or "programs". The panorama view lounge, the wide walking decks, and the beautiful sundeck, all were specially and dedicatedly designed for passengers' convenience and comfort to view the most mystical scenic sites of Three Gorges. The restaurant aboard offers a variety of classic and excellent foods from various parts of China and it still carry a reputation of best cuisine on Yangtze River. There is also a business center completed with satellite communication, postal, typing or printing, fax and copy services.
