Grand Canal Park well on way to completion

Construction of the national cultural park was launched in 2019. It is expected to be basically complete by the end of next year.

With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Grand Canal, a vast waterway system in the northeastern and central-eastern plains of China, connects Beijing with Hangzhou and served as a significant transportation artery in ancient China.
