It has been 10 years since China's Grand Canal, or the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In April 2023, in southeast China's Fujian Province, a team led by Zheng Chunhui, a representative inheritor of Putian wood carving, a national intangible cultural heritage, began a five-year journey to create a giant wood carving of the canal.
