The Chinese submarine Changcheng 279 is a decommissioned Romeo-class submarine that served in the People's Liberation Army Navy. Now open as a museum in Weihai, visitors can enter the narrow passageways and see the cramped living quarters, control rooms, and torpedo bays. The tour provides insight into the life of submariners and the technology of mid-20th-century submarine warfare. It is a unique opportunity to experience the confined environment of a real submarine.
