Brief introduction of Yangzhou ancient canal
Yangzhou Ancient Canal is the oldest section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the "mother river" of Yangzhou City.
The existing canal was ordered by Yang Di in 486 BC, with a total length of about 30 kilometers from Guazhou Ferry to Wantou, forming the famous "Three Bays in Yangzhou". It connects the old and new urban areas of Yangzhou, and it is the witness of Yangzhou's Millennium development. The water quality of the whole reach is clear, passing through the city, leaving many cultural relics on both sides, including water conservancy facilities, religious sites, private gardens, salt merchants' mansions and so on. It has attracted countless literati to leave poems and lament. In addition, there are countless small islands with pleasant scenery in the river, which are suitable for tourists who like natural scenery.
