The country's first aircraft carrier finished its maiden sea trial on Sunday and returned to port in Dalian, Northeast China's Liaoning province, domestic media reported.
Although aircraft carriers have been in service in many naval forces for decades, the debut of China's first aircraft carrier drew worldwide attention.
China's refitted aircraft carrier left its shipyard on Wednesday morning to embark on its first sea trial. After returning from the sea trial, the aircraft carrier will continue refit and test work.
