In the first and mid-April 2024, while participating in a self-driving tour in Jiangsu and Anhui, I visited the China Grand Canal Museum in Yangzhou, Jiangsu. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

The China Grand Canal Museum is located in Guangling District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, covering an area of 200 acres. It will be completed and opened in June 2021. It is a modern comprehensive museum integrating cultural relics protection, scientific research exhibitions, and leisure experience. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

The collection contains more than 10,000 pieces (sets) of ancient books and documents, calligraphy and paintings, inscriptions, ceramics, metal ware, miscellaneous items and other cultural relics that reflect the theme of the canal from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present.

The overall shape of the China Grand Canal Museum adopts the shape of a giant ship and incorporates sail elements, just like a giant ship about to set sail by the canal. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

The Universiade Tower is designed in the style of the Tang Tower. The tower is 100 meters high and can be accessed through the Changhong Reclining Wave Promenade built on the roof of the museum. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

The exhibition of the China Grand Canal Museum in Yangzhou is based on the overall positioning of "the beautiful life brought by the canal" and includes two basic displays: "The Grand Canal-China's World Cultural Heritage" and "Born by Transport-Impression of the Grand Canal Street", as well as "The Boat on the Canal","Searching for Fun in Canal Wetlands" and "The Lost Track of Canal in Damingdu Water Supervision". The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

The exhibition area is about 18,000 square meters and has 11 special exhibitions. The special exhibition plan takes the development and changes of the Grand Canal as the Timeline, covers the entire Grand Canal basin in space, and focuses on displaying the better life that the Grand Canal brings to the people. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

In the museum, visitors can learn about the past and present lives of the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the East Zhejiang Canal, and appreciate the water conservancy wisdom, boat style, water transportation and salt profits, trade and commerce, food, customs, market life, as well as the natural ecology along the canal and the intersection and integration of the canal and the "Belt and Road". The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

The museum has collected tens of thousands of cultural relics and exhibits of various types reflecting the theme of the canal from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, and has set up exhibitions such as "The Grand Canal-China's World Cultural Heritage" and "Born by Transport-Impression of the Grand Canal Street". Special exhibitions such as "Boat on the Canal" and "World Canal and Canal City" can be called the "encyclopedia" of China's Grand Canal. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

Audiences can experience first-hand the highlights of the exhibition hall, which combines the beauty of art and technology. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

The unique innovative and interactive digital experience themed exhibition areas-boats on the canal, love of the river, and the "canal maze" of the Damingdu Water Supervisor, innovative high-tech interactive equipment, and digital immersive experience allow the audience to have a sense of travel. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

Among them, the multimedia interactive experience exhibition is created with the theme of the boat on the Grand Canal of China. The exhibition area is divided into two important parts. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

More than 70 ship models were displayed along the way, and through interactive screens, AR augmented reality and other multimedia interactive technologies, the display space was "brought alive" to better tell the audience about the evolution of the Grand Canal boats, the types of boats and other related knowledge and stories. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.

Viewers can also personally walk into the daily slang of the people on both sides of the canal, experience the culture and economic life of the canal, and enjoy the prosperous scenery on both sides of the ancient canal. The photo was taken at the China Grand Canal Museum.
