京杭大运河杭州段
Grand Canal in Hangzhou
The Hangzhou section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is a waterway still connected to urban life rather than a single monument. The warehouses, workshops, museums, residential streets and modern public spaces around Gongchen Bridge show how transportation, handicrafts and daily life accumulate along the canal. Observing both sides of the strait on foot makes it easier to see the continuation of history and renewal than just taking a cruise.

Getting there
You can start from near Gongchen Bridge and walk to connect the Canal Museum and the Preservation Street.
Practical notes
It is recommended to start from Gongchen Bridge and choose areas such as nearby museums and Xiaohezhi Street instead of trying to walk the entire canal at once. The opening of venues, cruise ships and waterfront construction may be adjusted separately. Public transportation should be used to connect different sections and the lives of residents should be respected.
