Tips

culture
巡洋舰 is a naval cruiser (a warship class); the Chinese name for the Land Cruiser is a literal, almost poetic calque - 'a cruiser for the land'. Shortened to 陆巡 in enthusiast slang. The nameplate has been a status symbol in China since the 1990s, especially in government and rural-business fleets.
