GRAND CANAL MUSEUM · BEIJING’S TRIBUTE TO THE WORLD’S LONGEST ENGINEERING MARVEL

#chinatravel

Housed in a wave-inspired titanium structure, this museum brings to life the 1,794km artificial river that fed dynasties—through interactive lock models, holographic grain barges, and the actual wooden tally sticks used to tax Song dynasty salt merchants.

⏰ Best Visiting Times:
🌅 Weekday Mornings – Catch traditional dougong bracket workshops
🚣 Summer Weekends – Outdoor mini-canal boat demonstrations
