Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China, but not many people outside of China
know about the Grand Canal. This man-made waterway—known in China as Da Yunhe is 1700
kilometers long and some parts of it are more than 2000 years old. It links the north of China
with Hangzhou, a city in the southern part of the country. It's the longest man-made waterway in
the world.
It was built as a way to transport grain(谷物) from the rich agricultural land in China's south
to eities in the north. In fact, it's not one canal, but a syster of canals and rivers linked together.

transport grain and many other types of cargo.
Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is making parts of
it deeper, so bigger ships can use it. The canal will also help to move water. There is a lot of rain
in the south of China, but not as much in the north. The canal will carry millions of liters of
water from the south to the north.
The Grand Canal is much less famous than the Great Wall, and not very many tourists visit
it. But it's possible to go on a cruise(乘船游览) along some of the oldest parts of the canal.
Passengers on these cruises see beautiful parts of China that other visitors don't see.
