Photo taken on July 12, 2012 shows the interior of the replica of "Zheng He Treasure Ship" under construction in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province. The replica of "Zheng He Treasure Ship," which is designed to be six-masted, 71.1 meters long and 14 meters wide with a displacement of 1,800 tonnes, is scheduled to complete installation in 2012 and start debut sailing in 2014. Treasure Ships are used by the commander of the fleet during the voyages of Zheng He, who made seven voyages to more than 30 countries and regions in Asia and Africa from 1405 to 1433 in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
