The People’s Liberation Army Hong Kong garrison said on Saturday the vessel would make a “technical stop” in the city.
The garrison revealed the news with a 51-second video titled “Heading home, next stop Hong Kong”.
Po Lang, a triple-masted tall ship, which is on a voyage to conduct training for navy personnel, set off from the mainland Chinese city of Dalian in August and has visited Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Singapore in recent months.
Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, earlier said the ongoing mission of Po Lang was aimed at enhancing professional capabilities of midshipmen, strengthening exchanges, as well as cooperation and mutual trust between the Chinese PLA Navy and others around the world.
