Here are some ongoing exhibitions in Yangzhou.

As the world's longest man-made canal, the Grand Canal is a vast waterway system in the north-eastern and central-eastern plains of China, running from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang province in the south.

​Yangzhou was where the journey of China's Grand Canal began, if you went by the book.

Gu Feng, an expert on the Grand Canal, was invited to give a lecture held by Yangzhou Library Nov 29 to outline the history of the Beijing-Hangzhou canal.
