The Grand Canal is the longest man-made river in the world, from Beijing in the north to Hangzhou in the south. It is one of the most magnificent projects in Chinese history.

The Grand Canal was built in the 4th Century BC and completed at the end of the 13th century AD. It was first built to transport grain and later other goods.

The area along the Grand Canal gradually developed into China's industrial and commercial center. For a long time, the Grand Canal has played an important role in China's economic development and effectively promoted personnel exchanges and cultural exchanges between the North and the South.
