The Guangdong provincial government has spent RMB160 million to build a Maritime Silk Road Museum to secure the 30-meter-long, 10-meter-wide, 4.5-meter-tall ship-the oldest, largest, best-preserved, and, with an estimated value of hundreds of millions of US dollars, most valuable Song vessel ever discovered. At 130,000 square meters in size, the museum is about eight times the size of the main structure in the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.
為了安置這艘長 30 公尺、寬 10 公尺、高 4.5 公尺，也是迄今世上發現年代最早、船體最大、保存最完整、文物價值估計逾千億美金的宋代沉船，廣東省政府斥資 1.6 億人民幣，打造占地 13 萬平方公尺（約 8 個中正紀念堂主體建築）的「海上絲綢之路博物館」。
