Introduction

The China Grand Canal Museum is located west of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, next to the ancient Gongchen Bridge. In front of the museum is a canal cultural square, which is a place for many citizens to relax and play. The architectural style of the museum is "traditional but not antique". The building is arranged in a fan-shaped layout around the canal cultural square, with a combination of flat and sloping forms. The facade incorporates traditional Chinese architectural symbols in a refined and simplified manner. Through a unique open layout, the indoors and outdoors are integrated, and the canal, bridges, boats, and wharfs are ingeniously used as living exhibits. The museum introduces the historical changes and culture of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal through five exhibition halls. Interested friends may want to come here for a visit.
