Do you have any idea what the concrete aircraft carriers are about? Do they serve any actual purpose? China is in the throes of trying to get real aircraft carriers into operation, which is a hugely complicated technical feat - is it anything to do with that?
The two concrete aircraft carriers in Shanghai municipality are located in Qingpu district (Shanghai) and Nanhui district (Pudong) and both are open to the public (fees apply) to walk on and around and have a museum, restaurants and shops and some entertainment venues inside and on the deck, around the area. Oriental Park Shanghai (6888 Huqingping Road, Qingpu, RMB50 entrance fee) and its National Defense Park near Shanghai. Part water-park, part replica-U.S.-aircraft-carrier-housing-a Chinese-military-museum (pictured above), Oriental Park is an interesting place in Qingpu district (Shanghai). The carrier there not only houses a Chinese military museum with an American SR-71 Blackbird aircraft replica hanging from the ceiling, but also a water ride, old Russian MiG fighters on its flight deck and a smashing view of the surrounding countryside.
