The Grand Canal, which stretches from Beijing to Hangzhou, is the most important river in Jiangsu province. The 690-kilometer Jiangsu section of the Grand Canal flows through eight cities, including Xuzhou, Suqian, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, and Suzhou.

Built 1,400 years ago, the Grand Canal is a major water transportation route that passes directly through Wuxi. The Wuxi section of the canal is 40.6 kilometers long and connects with the 3,000-year-old Bodu River under the Qingming Bridge.

Over the course of many years, the 1.6-km-long section of the canal in the Qingming Bridge Historical Culture Block gradually became one of the city's most popular tourist destinations due to its unique cultural and architectural heritage.
