The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal (Hangzhou section) marks the southernmost point of the canal, which throughout its millennia of history, has integrated the distinctive products, cuisine, clothing, folk customs, and civil and official etiquette from various regions of China, forming the canal cultural landscape represented by the ‘Top Ten Canal Scenes’. The Caofang boat is the ‘trendy’ vessel of Hangzhou’s canal; today’s Caofang boats blend historical ship elements of the canal with modern technology, serving as an important vehicle for modern canal tourism.
Departing from the Wulin Gate dock and traveling northward on the Caofang, one can experience unique views along the Grand Canal Heritage Line, such as Jiangqiao Twilight Rain, Xiangji Buddhist Chimes, Fuyu Legacy, Gongchen Moon Invitation, and Qiaoxi Home, allowing visitors to feel the slow life of Hangzhou while cruising. Canal water tourism, represented by the Caofang boats, including day tours, night tours, ancient town tours, and Red Fortune trips, is favored by citizens and tourists.
