Chinese sailing team, "China Sina", will depart from France next
week to complete their global tour.
It will mark the completion of the first round-the-world trip
undertaken by a sailing team from the Chinese mainland.
The team, having finished their 2005 11,000-sea-mile tour of the
Eastern Hemisphere, will travel westward this time on May 24th.
It will take half a year for the team to cross the Atlantic,
Panama Canal, and Pacific Ocean to finally stop in southeast
China's Shenzhen city.
