The China Grand Canal Museum is located on the bank of the Sanwan Ancient Canal in Yangzhou, with a construction area of nearly 80,000 square meters. In November 2020,"Yangzhou is a good place" was said in Sanwan Park. The museum is located on the north side of Sanwan Park and is seamlessly connected to the park. It is the first modern comprehensive canal-themed museum in China integrating cultural relics protection, scientific research exhibitions, and social education.

The main building consists of a museum and the Universiade Tower in the New Tang style architectural style, implying "a giant ship on the canal." The China Grand Canal Museum in Yangzhou displays more than 10,000 pieces (sets) of cultural relics and exhibits of various types around the theme of "The Better Life the Grand Canal brings to the People", introducing canal knowledge and conveying canal culture throughout the basin, during all times and in all directions.

The 25.7-meter-long and 8-meter-high section of the ancient Bianhe River at the Kaifeng Zhouqiao Site in the exhibition hall of "Grand Canal-China's World Cultural Heritage" shows the changes of the canal from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, demonstrating the importance of canal shipping to the national economy. The important value of development and people's daily lives. There are not only various cultural relics exhibits in the exhibition area, but also the four seasons of the Grand Canal depicted through scientific and technological means. The life picture of the ancients taking boats and rafting comes to mind.

The most recommended ones are Canal Streets No. 1 and No. 3, the boat on the canal, and the Love of the River Exhibition Hall No. 8. The 5G+AR at the exit of Exhibition Hall 1 crosses the 17 Canal Cities Animation, giving people a taste of the style of the 17 Canal Cities, giving people an immersive feeling. Exhibition Hall No. 3 on Yunhe Street takes you through the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and uses dome projection technology to show the transformation of light and shadow 24 hours a day. The boats on the canal use 3D projection to display the customs and customs on both sides of the canal, giving people the feeling of sitting on a boat, as if swimming in a painting. Love of River No. 8 uses a 360-degree curved curtain to show the changes in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter along the canal. The above four exhibition halls all adopt an immersive experience method to introduce the past and present of the ancient canal, which is very worth visiting.

Recommended tour route: After entering the door, visit the upstairs exhibition hall, which are Canal Poetry and Painting, Canal Wetland Picking, River Love, Zijin City and the Grand Canal, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the Grand Canal, etc. The immersive exhibition hall is Hall 8, River Love. Then you can go to the Sky Garden on the roof and the Universiade Tower to watch: the three towers reflect the scenery of the three bays. Finally, I visited the three immersive exhibition halls 1, 2 and 3 on the first floor. Of course, the climax should be arranged at the back.Remember that there are boats in the boat exhibition hall on the canal. You must take a boat and experience it.

The boat exhibition hall on the canal mainly displays the evolution of merchant ships and passenger ships in various ancient periods. Special reminder: Don't miss the sand ship with immersive experience inside.

The street on the canal in Hall 3: The north side is in the Tang and Song style, and the south side is in the Ming and Qing style. Special reminder: Don't just look up when you are walking on the south side. Pay attention to the river at your feet. Many tourists have already fallen into the water. Although the water is very shallow, their clothes are all wet
