By incorporating immersive technology and interactive design, the exhibits vividly illustrate the historical journey of the Grand Canal from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) to the present day.
The display also offers a thorough presentation of the canal culture along the entire waterway and throughout various historical eras.
The "Canal Chic: Reviving China's Heritage" creative planning project is organized by the China Daily Website, co-organized by the Yangzhou Municipal Committee's Cyberspace Administration, and supported by the China Internet Development Foundation.
