At the China Grand Canal Museum, a recognized marvel of engineering, visitors can see more than 10,000 cultural relics relating to the canal.

Since Yangzhou, of Jiangsu province, started to clean up the environment around the canal in 2014, Liu and his neighbors gradually extended their exercising territory from within the community to the whole Sanwan park.

Immersive plays featuring poetry from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), combined with gorgeous lighting and a hydro-screen, were recently staged at the Slender West Lake scenic area in Yangzhou.

A museum themed on the Grand Canal, a vast waterway connecting the northern and southern parts of China, opened to the public on Wednesday in the eastern Chinese city of Yangzhou.

Yangzhou China Grand Canal Museum, the first modern comprehensive canal-themed museum in China integrating cultural relic protection, scientific research exhibits and social education, opened at Yangzhou, East China's Jiangsu province, on June 16.
