The section of the Grand Canal from Huai 'an to Yangzhou is called Huayang Canal. Also known as Huaiyang Canal. Huaiyang Canal is a world cultural heritage and an important part of the Grand Canal in China. This is an artificial canal, built in 486 BC. Huai 'an Section of Huaiyang Canal and Yangzhou Section of Huaiyang Canal are both rivers listed in the Heritage List, with a total of 15 heritages along the coast. In the early years of Sui Dynasty, Hankou was often banned. At that time, the Hankou River was quite long, with a flat surface and dam control. It took four or five days from Huai 'an to Yangzhou. The riverbed in the jiangbei section of Hankou has large slope and high velocity. When there is a lot of water in summer, it is not easy for upstream ships to float. Therefore, the northern deep weir was built at the northern end of the river, located at Guwei (now the ancient town of Hedi). The weir gate is mainly used to regulate the lake.
