The world's largest single-capacity floating wind power platform set sail from the southern Chinese megalopolis of Guangzhou Sunday to an offshore wind farm in Yangjiang City, also in Guangdong Province.

The "Mingyang Tiancheng" features a Y-shaped floating foundation. The upper part, the V-shaped structure, is installed with two wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 16.6 MW, and an impeller of 219 meters at its highest point.

It will arrive at the Mingyang Qingzhou Sihai Offshore Wind Farm on Wednesday after a 72-hour voyage of 191 nautical miles.

This monolithic platform, developed independently by the Mingyang Smart Energy Group, is projected to generate approximately 54 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.

It is designed for a wide range of waters over 35 meters deep and can serve for about 25 years under severe sea conditions such as typhoons and high waves.

"It is expected to generate 54 million kWh annually, which will be enough to power 30,000 three-member families for a year," said Wang Chao, chief engineer of the platform with the Mingyang Smart Energy Group.

A total of 14 movies are being screened on the Chinese mainland during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, which started on Sunday.

"Comedies are my favorites. I just like the feeling of spreading happiness among people," said a moviegoer in Beijing.

"I watched the 3D version of 'The Wandering Earth II'. Its visual effect is better and the overall effect is stronger. It has a complete story line," said another moviegoer.
