Monument for ancient navigator

East China's Jiangsu province will build a tower to commemorate China's renowned navigator Zheng He and his seven voyages to destinations in the South Pacific, Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf, and Africa during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

The monument will stand at the ruins of the dockyard where Zheng's ship was built more than 600 years ago. Currently, 100 designs have been made for the selection, said Zhao Zhigang, who is in charge of the project.
