　　It seemed to be deserted before, anyway, now that there is this Grand Canal Park, it is very crowded.

There are many runners and many cyclists, and I often come to run.

　　[Commentary] Zhao Yale is a native of Taierzhuang, Shandong.

When she was young, she wondered how good it would be to work in this scenic spot built by the water in the future?

Now, Zhao Yale, who graduated with a major in tourism management, has become a tourist guide in ancient cities.

She told reporters that the Zaozhuang section of the canal is in the same line as the Grand Canal.

From the historic water towns with many merchants and profound cultural heritage, to the reconstructed cultural and tourism-integrated ancient city scenic spot, Taierzhuang on the canal of Zaozhuang has been "prosperous" by the river for thousands of years, and it is full of vigor and vitality. They are all proud of the ancient city of Taierzhuang.

　　Although my family lives in Taierzhuang but not on the street, when we were young, we looked forward to our parents taking us into the street to buy some fun and delicious food, so I said that I was looking forward to seeing it on the street, but Sometimes he would run out by himself and take a look at the river.

(Curious at the time) What was Tai'er before? Because the Taierzhuang we contacted already had buildings and commercial houses, it was not like the original canal before, so I was familiar with Taierzhuang at that time, but there was still a sense of strangeness, and a kind of strangeness. A sense of mystery, and after I came into contact with this industry later, I gradually realized that Taierzhuang was like this in history.

Because as a Taierzhuang person, I can publicize the scenic spot so that more people can learn about our hometown and the ancient city of Taierzhuang. In fact, my father is very proud of this.

　　[Commentary] The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through the two cities of Beijing and Tianjin and the four provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This Grand Canal, which runs from north to south, has built a bridge that has connected the Chinese nation's civilization for more than two thousand years.

A history of the development of the Yangzhou Canal is almost an ancient history of the development of Yangzhou.

In Yangzhou, the water quality of the canal is clear, passing through the city, and there are many historic sites along the coast. The customs are unique and interesting, leaving behind the splendid canal culture and riverside fireworks that have been passed down for thousands of years.

　　Why is it called the study room that can breathe green? The decoration walls of our study room, including the wooden boards on the roof, are all ship boards recovered from the old fishing boats in our ancient canal. It is very antiseptic and sticky. Here it is both environmentally friendly and antiseptic for a long time.

We see that there is the canal culture of the boat board in it, and there is also a book about our modern canal culture, (the study) is like a connection point where our ancient canal culture flows to today and our modern canal culture. .

　　[Explanation] The journey from Beijing lasted for a week and the journey was about 1,300 kilometers. During this "Canal Cultural Journey", many media professionals let people see the clear waters of the Grand Canal through their lens, pen and paper, and made people along the coast more comfortable. It is implicated in all aspects of the economy, society, and culture of the cities along the route. The footprint of the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt is deeply imprinted on the land of China, linking up a series of Chinese stories belonging to the "people".

The impression is very deep.
