longest Canal in the world and
probably the oldest too
Grand Canal of China, 京杭大運河 (Da-Yun-He)
has been officially enlisted as
UNESCO World Heritage Site
by the way
canal is an artificial waterway
okies, something new to me
because i am wondering
what's the difference between
canal and river
well.. is there a way to
travel from Beijing to Hangzhou or
vice versa
all the way following the canal?
the purpose of having a canal in the first place is
mainly, for transportation
as of today, tourism as well
along the stretch of the canal which passes by
SuZhou and HangZhou are where some of the
old water town are located
thereby, popular among
tourists and travellers
another notably one is
between HangZhou 杭州 and SuZhou 蘇州
it’s a long haul cruise of 14 hours
departing at 5 in the evening,
arriving next morning at 7 a.m.
which means that you get to enjoy
the sunset and sun rise along the way
no worries, it comes in room package
a similar tour is available
from HangZhou to WuXi 無錫
this is interesting?
so now i can’t wait to
go back to HangZhou for this
was there last month
wait a minute
i haven’t even blogged about it huh
okay ..
p.s.
also announced as
the latest World Heritage Site is
woohoo…
The Silk Road 絲綢之路
which was already added
in my KIV-ed list
quite some time ago
and here are the posts
