Along the Grand Canal: Discovering Shandong's cultural treasures

For centuries, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has served as a vital transportation artery, nurturing numerous historic cities and ancient towns along its banks and giving rise to a distinctive culture. 

East China's Shandong Province is one of the key provinces along the Grand Canal, rich in cultural heritage and antiquities. In Tai'erzhuang District of Zaozhuang City, you can immerse yourself in the charm of traditional Chinese culture; in Liaocheng, explore the legacy of the ancient waterway at the Museum of Grand Canal; and in Dezhou, stroll through Dongzi Cultural Street, where folk traditions bring history to life.
