East China’s Jiangsu province will strive to enhance the protection and utilization of the Grand Canal through integrated efforts and improved layouts so as to promote the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt to make the cultural and historical heritage accessible to the people from around the world. 

At night, visitors are intoxicated by the light and shadow of Nanchang Street in Wuxi where tourists take a boat trip on the pleasure boat and feel the ancient charm and leisure on the shore of the Grand Canal.

In recent years, authorities in Wuxi have racked their brains to protection and utilization of the Grand Canal.

The city has worked hard to highlight the historical context of the city and its cultural and historical heritage as a whole.

In April, an 11.8-kilometer-long walk connected the Qingming Bridge, Nanchang Street, Nanchan Temple that were previously separated from one another, drawing the residents and tourists closer to the ancient canal and making the canal and the city truly integrated to become a new cultural image. 

Yang Yang, project manager of Jiangsu Ancient Canal Investment Group Co., Ltd:"Boats paddling in the water and people strolling ashore,make water-shore interaction,so that citizens and tourists can directly feel the scenery of the ancient canal."

The quiet change along the Ancient Canal in Wuxi is a vivid portrayal of the province's active promotion of the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt.

In recent years, Jiangsu has attached great importance to the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt by establishing a leading group to coordinate various aspects of work in the protection, inheritance and utilization of the canal.

The Decision of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial People's Congress on Promoting the Construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt" was formally implemented early this year, making it the country's first local regulation to promote the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt.

Jiangsu has also issued the Implementation Plan for the Protection, Inheritance and Utilization of the Grand Canal Culture in Jiangsu Province, and compiled the Construction and Protection Plan for the Grand Canal National Cultural Park in Jiangsu Province.

Jiangsu is now compiling six special plans for the protection and inheritance of the Grand Canal cultural heritage, the interpretation and promotion of cultural values, and the construction of the ecological corridor to spearhead the protection and high-quality construction.

Efforts have been made to wrap up the investigation of the water cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, build the country's first water cultural heritage database, include Huai'an Banzha and the tomb of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in the protection of national cultural relics, and promote the construction of the digital cloud platform of the Grand Canal Museum of China and the Grand Canal National Cultural Park.

Song Jianhui, Director of Engineering and Construction Department of Yangzhou Sanwan Company:"We must display the'visible culture' through the museum,and unearth the'invisible culture' as well,so that the cultural stories along the Grand Canal,and the thousand-year-long heritage can be displayed more three-dimensionally,and more tourists will come to Yangzhou to feel the unique charm of the millennium-old canal."

Xie Chunlin, Deputy Director of the Office for Grand Canal Protection, Changzhou:"We will promote the historical heritage of the canal by restoring the ecological environment,reshaping the shoreline landscape and green economic development,and strive to build the Changzhou section of the Grand Canal into a high-quality, high-level cultural corridor,ecological corridor, and tourist corridor."

At the same time, Jiangsu has given full play to role of the Grand Canal being a golden waterway and a paradise of human ecology to promote the integrated development of culture and tourism, build selected cultural tourism routes, cultivate new forms of cultural tourism, and build the millennium-old canal into an international cultural tourism brand.
