China Port Deep Water Terminal: An easy on the eye tourist attraction?
The people of Karachi have taken to the newest attraction in the city; the China Port Water Terminal
(WebDesk) – The people of Karachi always take out time to enjoy with their friends and families. Having no shortage of tourist attractions, the Provincial capital of Sindh is all ready to introduce yet another beauty to its residents and of course to all the tourists from all over the nation. This time round the people of Karachi have taken to the newest attraction in the city; the China Port Deep Water Terminal.

Surrounded by large bodies of water on either side and built solely on thousands of firm tetrapods paved to make a long rectangular pathway, the deep-water terminal has attracted thousands of fun loving and excited tourists from across the country.
The foundation of the terminal was initially laid to support the movement of containers and is still months away from being fully operational but that does not stop the Karachiites from instilling the breathtaking view in their minds and souls. People of all sizes, from all backgrounds come to visit the terminal and sit together on the edge of the rocks, dip their feet in the relatively cold water and enjoy the beautiful view of the majestic sun setting with their loved ones.

The saddening thing however is the fact that although the residents have made the China Port Deep Water Terminal a sightseeing attraction, it is in fact, a site made exclusively for the purpose of trade.
With just months away from being fully operational, it seems as though the terminal will be flooded by flocks of people who would want to visit the unique site at least once before public is barred from visiting it.
