The following day, the delegates toured the China Grand Canal Museum's impressive exhibition featuring over 10,000 sets of cultural relics spanning from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) to the present. These treasures include historical archives, calligraphy works, paintings, inscriptions, ceramics, and metal wares, offering a fascinating glimpse into the rich culture of the Grand Canal.

Then they ventured into the Mausoleum Park of Sui Emperor Yang Guang, which showcases the final resting place of the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty (581-618), alongside his wife, Empress Xiao. They were shown the emperor's epitaph, a symbol of his reign and legacy, and admired Empress Xiao's phoenix crown, a jade belt decorated with gold, and a pair of golden door-knockers, all of which serve as reminders of the opulent lives led by the ruler.

Yangzhou, situated at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, boasts a rich history spanning over 2,500 years. Thanks to its geographical position and pristine natural surroundings, Yangzhou's cultural legacy continues to thrive, leaving a deep impression on visitors from around the globe.
