As the book says, "The Grand Canal is a flowing culture," it has made important contributions to China's economic development. Seeing the introduction of the rich heritage along the Grand Canal in the book reminded me of my previous visits to the Grand Canal. Those beautiful scenery and long history made me linger. I feel that only by understanding the Grand Canal can we better protect and inherit it. This book is very meaningful and I recommend it to you!
