HENGSHUI, June 7 (Xinhua) -- Connecting the Chinese capital Beijing and Hangzhou in east China's Zhejiang Province, the Grand Canal, which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014, is the world's longest artificial waterway.

Stretching approximately 75.1 kilometers, the Gucheng section of the Grand Canal has nourished the land along its banks for centuries and given rise to multiple provincial-level intangible cultural heritages.

In recent years, Gucheng County has boosted environmental conservation and cultural tourism development along the Grand Canal, transforming its banks into an ecological corridor with cultural richness.
