The Adora Flora City, China's second domestically built large cruise ship, has wrapped up its first trial voyage with nearly 1,000 university teachers and students on board as its first passengers.

It docked in Guangzhou City, south China's Guangdong Province, on Thursday where the young researchers disembarked after their field trip.

Compared to the country's first homegrown large cruise ship, the Adora Magic City, this new vessel is bigger and sleeker, boasting 141,900 tonnes and stretching 341 meters long. It also has 3,000 square meters of extra public space, 2,130 cabins and can ferry up to 5,232 passengers.

It will officially launch commercial voyages from Nansha District, Guangzhou City, on November 22.
