The Grand Canal of China

The Grand Canal of China is the general name for several famous canals in the country. It is currently applying for World Cultural Heritage status for its significant role in the history of China.

Of all of the parts of the Grand Canal of China, the Grand Jing-Hang Canal is considered among the most important by many experts. In Hangzhou, the scenery along the canal is gorgeous, with historic buildings and old stories adding to its attractions. If you'd like to learn more about the canal, the Grand Jing-Hang Canal Museum, located in the Canal Cultural Square, is the place to go.

The water-bus is also a good choice for sightseeing on the canal. Starting from Pujia Wharf, the boat takes you along Gongchen Bridge Wharf.

Along the canal, you can find famous food courts such as Dadou Road, Shengli River, with distinctive snacks for hungry sailors.
