During their stay in Hong Kong, from July 7 through 11, members from the fleet held a deck reception and visited an elderly care center to interact with Hong Kong residents.
The naval formation, which first set out from Qingdao on June 25, has also carried out trans-regional training at sea to strengthen coordination among the vessels and improve the skills of crew and pilots in different regions.
