Feel the millennia-old legacy of the Grand Canal, and upon reaching the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, marked by the Gongchen Bridge, known as the ‘First Ancient Bridge of the South of the Yangtze,’ you will turn back. This journey will take you through the ages, allowing you to comprehend two thousand years of history.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is a monumental engineering feat created by the laboring people of ancient China. It is a precious material and spiritual heritage left to us by our ancestors, a living, flowing significant human legacy. The Grand Canal stands as a historical monument, a cultural symphony, and a ‘business card’ for Hangzhou.
