[2025 Yangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for China Grand Canal Museum (Updated Feb)

🌟 I've been to Yangzhou many times, but I still want to go back. This city is so charming. You can enjoy natural hot springs, admire the moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridge, have morning tea at Quyuan Teahouse, and visit the Sui Emperor's Ruins. Its charm attracts tourists again and again. 🌟 3-Day Tour of Yangzhou: 1⃣️ Day 1: Line up at Quyuan Teahouse in Yangzhou State Guesthouse. I like this restaurant. The private rooms on the second floor offer a great view of Slender West Lake. Enjoy a delicious breakfast. The average cost is around CNY 300 per person. ➡️ Then, take a walk along Slender West Lake and enjoy the picturesque scenery. The peach blossoms and willows are beautiful. Admire the moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridge and the Five Pavilion Bridge and take beautiful photos. ➡️ Then, head to the Sui Emperor's Ruins Park. Listen to the guide tell the legendary story of Yang Guang and Yang Yong. ➡️ In the evening, enjoy a foot massage at Luqin Foot Massage. Yangzhou foot massage is famous. Relax for a moment. 2⃣️ Day 2: Visit Songjiacheng Park. The air is fresh and the scenery is beautiful. It's a great place for a walk and photos. It's just across from Slender West Lake, so you can walk there. ➡️ Then, visit Ge Garden or He Garden near Dongguan Street and admire the exquisite beauty of the classical gardens. The two gardens are close to each other, so you can choose one. ➡️ Check out Dongguan Street and enjoy the food. The old town is full of charm. Try the local snacks, Yangzhou fried rice, and salted goose. 3⃣️ Day 3: Visit the Grand Canal Museum. It is extensive and profound, with a rich collection of artifacts, including important cultural relics such as a cross-section of the Bian River near Kaifeng, Henan, a 55-ton Tang Dynasty ship-shaped brick tomb, and a 27-ton Southern Song Dynasty brick kiln. It takes most of the day to see everything. 🌟 Accommodation: I chose the Hidden Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort near Slender West Lake. You can enjoy the hot springs, and the facilities are very complete. There are hot springs in the rooms. You can walk to Slender West Lake. The environment is great, but the price is a bit high. Even in the off-season, it's over CNY 1,000. 🌟 Food: There are so many delicious foods in Yangzhou. Yangzhou cuisine is world-famous. Yangzhou Banquet is recommended. It's exquisite and delicious. There are other restaurants, and you won't be disappointed. Feel free to try them.

|Grand Canal Museum visit notes. I visited the Grand Canal Museum yesterday. As soon as I stepped into the museum, it felt like I was embarking on a magical journey through time and space. 🌆[Venue appearance and layout] The museum's architectural style is unique, perfectly blending modernity with historical charm. The overall layout is clear and reasonable, with exhibition areas divided according to different themes and historical periods. Following the tour route, you can learn about the past and present of the Grand Canal in an orderly manner. 🛶[History Hall] This is an in-depth retrospective of the history of the Grand Canal. From the emergence of the canal during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, to the large-scale excavation and connection during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the continuous development and improvement during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the rich cultural relics, detailed historical materials, and realistic scene restorations allow people to intuitively feel the important role of the canal in different historical stages. For example, the model of ancient grain transport ships on display is exquisite and delicate, with every detail from the hull structure to the sails and ropes telling the story of the prosperity of grain transport in those days. 🌉[Canal Cities Hall] This exhibition hall takes the cities along the canal as the starting point, showing how the canal nurtured and nourished these cities. From the gentle water town style of Hangzhou, to the commercial prosperity of Yangzhou, and the close connection between Beijing as a political center and the canal, through the restoration of urban landscapes and the display of characteristic handicrafts, I deeply realized that the canal is not only a transportation artery, but also a bridge for cultural dissemination and exchange. The cities along the canal have their own unique characteristics and blend with each other because of the canal. 🎨[Intangible Cultural Heritage Hall] Here, I experienced the charm of the intangible cultural heritage along the canal. Exquisite paper-cutting, gorgeous Su embroidery, and lifelike dough figurines... Each work embodies the wisdom and effort of folk artists. There are also intangible cultural heritage inheritors demonstrating their skills on site. Watching them focus on their creations, I am filled with confidence in the inheritance and development of these ancient skills. After visiting the Grand Canal Museum, I was filled with shock and emotion. It is not only a treasure trove of knowledge, but also a bridge connecting the past, present, and future. I strongly recommend everyone to come here to experience the unique charm of the Grand Canal and explore the historical stories sealed by time.

The Potala Palace: World Heritage from the Snowy Plateau Feb 6–May 19, 2024 Organizers: China Grand Canal Museum The Potala Palace, Xizang Autonomous Region Exhibition Venue: Exhibition Halls 11 and 12, China Grand Canal Museum The exhibition is divided into five parts: Preface Hall, Majestic for Millennia, All Things Within, Heavenly Road and Divine Workmanship, and End Hall. The white paint on the outer walls of the Potala Palace is made from white lime, milk, white sugar, rock sugar, and other ingredients. The red paint is made from brown sugar, honey, saffron, and other ingredients. These paints are known for their freshness and high viscosity. In addition to the Potala Palace, many temples in Tibet also use these sweet-smelling paints. Every September in the Tibetan calendar, the Potala Palace undergoes its annual wall painting project, which is a routine "new look" for the palace. During the painting season, pilgrims and tourists from all over the world spontaneously join in the painting work. Bema grass, also known as bianma grass, is made from tamarisk branches. It is a shrub that grows in the deep mountains of high-altitude areas. It grows slowly, is hard, and its branches are not easily forked. Through long-term building practice, the Tibetan people have cleverly applied bema grass to buildings due to its characteristics of being unbendable and resistant to decay. It has become a unique building decoration material in Tibet. Using bema grass as a wall material can reduce the weight of the wall and create a unique decorative effect. China Grand Canal Museum

In 960, Zhao Kuangyin became emperor through the Chenqiao Mutiny, established the Northern Song Dynasty, and made Tokyo (now Kaifeng) the capital. Tokyo was a super city at that time. The Song Dynasty continued to build the Grand Canal, and four rivers brought goods from the north and south to Tokyo, and the economy developed rapidly. The rivers crisscrossed the city, not only making commerce prosperous but also promoting cultural prosperity. Tokyo was a gathering place for merchants, literati, and officials. Goods flowed continuously on the canal, and the market was very lively. There were also many literati, and the city was full of poetry and songs, and the cultural atmosphere of the whole city was very strong. The literati wrote poems and lyrics here, and their influence was huge. Speaking of Tokyo's urban planning, it was already quite advanced at that time. The original messy system of wards and markets was broken, the commercial and residential areas were more clearly divided, and the city became more organized. Although there were no tall buildings like today, the functions and efficiency at that time were not inferior. The current China Grand Canal Museum allows you to feel the prosperity of Tokyo at that time through various exhibitions. The exhibits and models recreate the prosperity of that period, and you can see the power of commerce and culture. If you go to the museum, you can better understand the similarities between ancient cities and today's cities. The exhibition will last until February next year. If you are interested in learning about what Tokyo looked like at that time, you can go to the museum to see and feel the charm of history.

The Grand Canal Museum is already a super popular museum in Yangzhou, and you definitely shouldn't miss it when you visit Yangzhou. The Grand Canal Museum has thirteen exhibition halls, and the must-sees are Halls 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, and 9. Hall 1 is a World Cultural Heritage site of China, and you must watch the naked-eye 5D animation video at Exit 5, where you can experience the cityscape along the Grand Canal while sitting on a boat. Hall 2, Boats on the Canal, introduces various types of boats from ancient times to the present, and you can also experience the tranquility of sitting on a boat and feeling the four seasons of the Grand Canal. Hall 3, Canal Streets, restores the impression of canal streets in a 1:1 scale. Hall 6, Canal Wetlands Exploration, makes you feel like you are walking into the wetlands, which is perfect for a family experience. Hall 7 showcases the intangible cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, allowing you to experience the intangible cultural heritage of the cities along the canal. Hall 9, The Forbidden City and the Grand Canal, has a very popular red wall at the entrance, so why not take a photo with the red wall? Head to the fourth floor, where there is an open-air rooftop garden with a panoramic view of the Three Bays of the Canal and the towering Grand Canal Tower. The entire wall of the canal cross-section is very spectacular, with each part being a witness to history, recording the past of the Grand Canal. The museum's architecture blends traditional and modern beauty, allowing you to experience the unique cultural charm of Yangzhou. It's so wonderful and beautiful, and it's in Yangzhou!

The museum has a collection of precious cultural relics. It has a large collection of historical relics related to the Grand Canal, covering many fields such as ceramics, stone carvings, brocade, and bronze ware. 💡The most distinctive feature is that the museum uses modern means such as digital technology, multimedia, and interactive interfaces, allowing visitors to understand the history and culture of the Grand Canal more vividly. The museum also has a variety of participatory cultural experiences, such as simulation devices, model displays, and interactive games. 🎥 You can experience driving a sailboat on the canal ⛵; the surrounding curtain projection, you can also see the scenery on both sides of the canal on a 1:1 canal ship; there is also an ancient street, various cultural and creative products, designed with great care, not at all like most museums or ancient towns are shoddy. The interior design, exhibition hall layout, and architectural design of the museum are also first-class, and it is especially worth visiting~

If you are in Yangzhou, you must visit the canal museum. It is truly a fantastic museum showing how they developed the canal for transportation of goods and services . It shows the making of silk and design. It shows how puppets are manufactured. The museum shows how prosperity came to Yangzhou by developing the canal systems and drainage to have good fertile land for food produce. But you must make an appointment if you are a foreigner, but it is a must place to visit.

"Fireworks in March in Yangzhou", although it is not the season for the grand fireworks, the charm of Yangzhou is not diminished at all. During this trip to Yangzhou, Quyuan Teahouse, China Grand Canal Museum and Zhu Ziqing's Former Residence left a very deep impression on me. They are like three shining pearls inlaid in the picture scroll of this ancient city. Morning tea: Yangzhou style on the tip of your tongue In the early morning, the sun shines through the mist onto the streets of Yangzhou. I come to Quyuan just to taste the famous Yangzhou morning tea. The emerald siomai is green and juicy, with a mixture of salty and sweet flavors, and is soft, sticky and fragrant. The three-diced buns are a perfect blend of diced meat, diced chicken and diced bamboo shoots. The filling is rich and delicious, and the dough is soft. The blanched dried bean curd is delicate and smooth, with the aroma of beans and sauce lingering on the tip of your tongue. The fun morning tea is really as good as its reputation. Grand Canal Museum: A Time and Space Corridor of Canal Culture After breakfast, I came to the Grand Canal Museum. This magnificent building is like a huge ship setting sail, quietly anchored on the bank of the canal, telling the thousand-year history and legend of the Grand Canal. The museum has a total of several exhibition halls, each of which uses rich cultural relics, vivid multimedia displays and realistic scene restorations to fully display the development of the Grand Canal, the prosperity and decline of cities along the canal, and the profound impact of canal culture on the development of Chinese and even world civilization. In the "Thousands of Years of the Canal" exhibition hall, I saw historical pictures unfolding before my eyes, from the excavation of the Hang Canal in the Spring and Autumn Period to the completion of the Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. I deeply felt the wisdom and great creativity of the ancient working people. Those ancient canal maps, water conservancy tools and unearthed cultural relics all bear traces of time and witness the rise and fall of the Grand Canal. Zhu Ziqing's Former Residence: The Spiritual Home of the Literary Master After leaving the Grand Canal Museum, I came to Zhu Ziqing's former residence. This traditional residence located in Anle Lane is where Mr. Zhu Ziqing once lived. Although it has gone through vicissitudes of time, it still retains its simplicity and tranquility. Many of his classic works are displayed in the former residence, such as "Back Figure" and "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond", which were all created here. These texts not only depict vivid pictures of life, but also contain his profound thoughts and insights on family, society, and life, influencing generations of readers. My trip to Yangzhou not only allowed me to enjoy the material benefits of delicious food and beautiful scenery, but also provided me with spiritual nourishment from its profound cultural heritage. Great love! ! !

The Grand Canal Museum is probably among the top five most popular in the country. It is a newly built museum. There are actually no particularly precious cultural relics in the museum, but the exhibition layout is really beautiful. Through various experiential models, videos and even immersive scenes, tourists can be brought into the ancient canal that has existed for thousands of years. Feast your eyes upon browsing and gain a lot. No wonder it’s so crowded during holidays and I can’t even get an appointment several times. After half a day, I still haven’t finished it. I will go shopping when I have the opportunity to come to Yangzhou again. China Grand Canal Museum [Like][Like]

For over 2000 years, countless ships have traveled on the Grand Canal, each from different eras and for different purposes. What are the characteristics of these ships? The 'Thousand-Mile Boat Journey - Canal Boat Culture Special Exhibition' at the Yangzhou China Grand Canal Museum will tell you. 🛳 The luxurious naval fleet of the King of Wu during the Spring and Autumn period The history of the canal can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. At that time, local lords dug canals to gradually connect the water systems of the world. Wu, one of the five hegemonies of the Spring and Autumn period, dug three canals: Xu Creek, Han Gou, and Huang Gou. In 486 BC, King Fuchai of Wu, in his quest for dominance over the Central Plains, utilized the natural river and lake ports of the Yangtze River Delta to dredge the ancient waterways and dig Han Gou, leaving a profound impact on later generations. Han Gou is the first canal in Chinese historical records with a definite date of excavation and is the earliest section of the Grand Canal water system in China. It is because of the achievements of Han Gou that Fuchai is honored as the 'first digger' of the Grand Canal. Wu, which placed such importance on the canal, naturally also formed a naval fleet that could be called luxurious. In the 'Thousand-Mile Boat Journey' exhibition, you can find many models of Wu's warships. There were yáng ships with tall masts, large in size, good at attacking and defending, which were the royal ships of King Liao of Wu and also the command flagships of the Wu navy. The second-floor loft of the ship was used for lookout and combat command. In addition to the yáng ships, under King Wu, there were also large, medium, and small winged ships, as well as tower ships. 🛳 The ship that Emperor Yang of Sui took to Yangzhou was this kind On the basis of Wu's Han Gou, Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, spent six years excavating and dredging the Tongji Canal, which entered the Bian River from the Yellow River, then into the Huai River; the Han Gou from the Huai River into the Yangtze River; the Jiangnan River from Jingkou to Kuaiji; and the Yongji Canal, which led the Qin River south to the Yellow River and north to Zhuo County. Finally, he connected them to form a grand canal that spanned more than 4,000 miles from north to south. What kind of ship did Emperor Yang of Sui take when he traveled along the canal? In the exhibition, you can find a model of Emperor Yang's dragon boat. The imperial ship of Emperor Yang was divided into four levels from top to bottom. The top level was naturally reserved for the emperor, with an office for official business and a bedroom for rest; the middle two levels had 160 rooms, all decorated with cinnabar, gold, pearls, and jade, exquisitely carved, and adorned with tassels, feathers, and red silk networks, shining with gold inside and out; the lower level was where the eunuchs and boatmen lived. Thousands of years have passed, and the huge dragon boat of the past has vanished into smoke and ashes, but the Grand Canal is still there. Perhaps, as the Tang dynasty poet Pi Rixiu commented: 'Thousands of dragon boats among the greenery, all arriving in Yangzhou never to return. It must have been Heaven's will to open the Bian water, over a thousand miles of land without mountains. All say that Sui perished because of this river, yet today a thousand miles still rely on its waves. If not for the water palace and dragon boat affairs, even Yu's contributions would not be much more.' 🛳 The boats in ancient paintings have been 'moved' out Everyone has heard of the 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' by Zhang Zeduan of the Northern Song Dynasty, but did you know? The Ming Dynasty painter Qiu Ying also painted a 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'. Qiu Ying's 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' refers to the Song version and uses the green and heavy color setting method to depict the social life of Suzhou city in the Ming Dynasty, showing the prosperous scene of the Jiangnan region. The painting contains more than two thousand characters, each with a vivid and lifelike expression. The Wuxi fast boat displayed in the exhibition is made based on Qiu Ying's 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'. This type of boat was very common in the Jiangnan area during the Ming Dynasty. Generally speaking, its route was centered on Wuxi, traveling through the Jiangnan Canal to Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, and other places, mainly for transporting passengers and goods. In addition to practical passenger and cargo ships, there were also many pleasure and entertainment boats. The 'Qianlong Emperor's Southern Inspection Tour' by the Qing Dynasty painter Xu Yang depicted the grand scene of the Qianlong Emperor's inspection tour, including scenes of inquiring about local customs, inspecting officials for the welfare of the people, inspecting river works, reviewing troops, offering sacrifices at the Yu Temple, and touring famous lakes and mountains. One of the lantern boats in the painting was also 'moved' to the exhibition. Lantern boats, also known as 'painted boats', 'flower boats', or 'pleasure boats', were built in the early years of the Tongzhi era of the Qing Dynasty in Nanjing, with constructions also in Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, and other areas, used for water tourism on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, Tai Lake, the Canal, Suzhou Wu County, and other waterways. These boats were lavishly decorated, with carved patterns on the cabins, kang beds, doors, windows, and pillars, and carved and gilded tables and tea tables, exclusively for sightseeing and banquets.

China Grand Canal Museum is located in Guangling District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, on Kaifa East Road (about 150 meters northwest of Sanwan Wetland Park), and is managed and operated by the Nanjing Museum. It is a national first-level museum. The Yangzhou China Grand Canal Museum houses over 10,000 cultural relics and exhibits reflecting the theme of the canal from the Spring and Autumn period to contemporary times, including ancient books and documents, paintings and calligraphy, inscriptions, ceramics, metal wares, and miscellaneous items. The overall shape of the museum adopts the form of a giant ship, incorporating elements of sails, resembling a huge ship about to set sail beside the canal. The Grand Canal Tower is designed in the style of a Tang dynasty pagoda, with a height of 100 meters, and can be accessed through a rainbow-like corridor built on top of the museum. The exhibition also innovatively introduces 5G technology, setting up a unique immersive experience space in the exhibition hall—'Live Broadcast of the Grand Canal,' presenting a panoramic view of the beauty of the canal, and achieving a comprehensive interpretation of the China Grand Canal in all basins, all time periods, and all directions. Impressions of the Grand Canal Street are presented through four parts: 'Prosperous Eastern Capital, Bustling Bian River,' 'Wealthy Capital, Richest in Qi County,' 'Canal Transport Hub, Coming and Going Salt Merchants,' and 'Cultural Jiangnan, Land of Fish and Rice,' showing the townscapes along the Grand Canal in different historical periods and reflecting the hard work, intelligence, and beautiful life of the people along the canal. Transportation route: In Yangzhou city, take Yangzhou Bus No. 56 or Yangzhou Bus No. 82 to Sanwan Bridge East Station, and walk to No. 1 Yunbo Road. Remember to make a reservation in advance, closed on Mondays.

💎 The Grand Canal, which began to be excavated during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, took on a significant scale during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, and since then, the Jiangnan region has become the empire's granary. The saying 'When Suzhou and Huzhou are ripe, the whole world is full' reflects the importance of Jiangnan's stability to the dynasty's safety. Therefore, the excavation and management of the Grand Canal have always been of great importance throughout the dynasties. 💎 During the An Lushan Rebellion, despite the continuous warfare among various military governors in the north, the Tang dynasty was able to persist, thanks to the continuous supply of grain and fodder from the Jianghuai region to Chang'an via the Grand Canal. During the Opium Wars, British invaders entered from the sea and took control of the Grand Canal, directly threatening the grain transport safety to Beijing, the heart of the Qing dynasty, and forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Nanking. This highlights the importance of the Grand Canal to China's national security and economy. 💎 The multiple post stations established along the canal became part of a developed postal system, playing a crucial role in the transmission of imperial edicts. Along the banks of the canal, numerous towns specializing in textiles, porcelain, and other industrial and commercial activities emerged, and the prosperity of commerce made the canal a link for fiscal revenue. 🇨🇳 Experience the five thousand years of Huaxia, inheriting the Chinese civilization

Gently boiling the years, slowly brewing tea, in the lingering sounds, the years in Yangzhou quietly pass by. On the Jianzhen Road, cherry blossoms bloom profusely like the sea and clouds, and the statues of the master, whether seated or standing, are placed on both sides of the cherry blossom path. No matter from which end one looks, behind the master, there is always a sea of blooming flowers.

Xianglong  Spring Prelude Chapter Eight Potala Palace—A World Cultural Heritage from the Snowy Region 🐬 The majestic Potala Palace, built on Red Hill in Lhasa at an altitude of 3,700 meters, with the main building, the Red Palace, reaching a height of 113 meters, is indeed another level higher on the snowy plateau. It was originally constructed in the 7th century by the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo specifically to welcome Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. It was destroyed by war in the 9th century and rebuilt by the 5th Dalai Lama in the 17th century, after which it underwent several expansions. 🐬 In Tibet, where Tibetan Buddhism is prevalent, great importance is placed on religious faith activities, which are integrated into daily life. The various exquisite artifacts stored in the Potala Palace show that the royal nobility at the time made extensive use of gold carvings and inlaid gems, not only for religious ceremonial items but even for common objects such as water pots and wine vessels, which featured intricate metal carvings. The image of the dragon is also commonly seen on these objects, either coiled around the handle, forming the spout, or on the body of the vessel. 🐬 Thangkas are the most characteristic art pieces, and the ones displayed this time mainly depict Buddhist figures and teachings. The exquisite silk and satin create vivid and three-dimensional images with bright colors. 🐬 Special thanks to: China Grand Canal Museum, Tibet Autonomous Region Potala Palace Administration 🇨🇳 Experience the five thousand years of Huaxia, inheriting Chinese civilization

After visiting the Yangzhou Ge Garden in the morning, I went to visit the Grand Canal Museum. Admission requires advance reservation, so I didn't enter the museum until after 12:00 p.m. The museum has a total of 13 exhibition halls, and it might take several days to see everything in detail. Therefore, this time I only visited halls 1-3, as well as the Potala Palace cultural relics exhibition that is currently in halls 11-12, which was an eye-opening experience. The museum has a restaurant on the basement level where you can solve the lunch problem. Due to the large number of visitors, you still need to take a number and queue up for dining, which is also rare in museums. The Grand Canal—China's World Cultural Heritage, the Grand Canal, is not a birth mother, it is a wet nurse. The China Grand Canal was first dug during the Spring and Autumn period, became navigable in the Sui Dynasty, and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. During the Yuan Dynasty, it was straightened for direct navigation from north to south; in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it maintained the lifeline of the nation and reached its zenith. It includes the Sui-Tang Grand Canal, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the East Zhejiang Canal, with a total length of more than 2,700 kilometers. Spanning over 2,500 years, it crosses eight provincial-level administrative regions including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, connecting the Haihe, Yellow, Huai, Yangtze, and Qiantang rivers, serving as the ancient transportation artery that linked east and west, north and south of China. It also extended westward to connect with the Eurasian Silk Road and eastward to the maritime trade routes. The China Grand Canal is a great water conservancy project created by the ancient laboring people. It connected the political and economic centers of successive dynasties, playing an important role in China's political unity, economic development, and cultural prosperity. The people along the coast thrived, interacted, and integrated because of it. The exhibition is divided into four parts, comprehensively reflecting the spatiotemporal changes of the China Grand Canal, the wisdom of hydraulic engineering, state management, and the beautiful life it has brought to the people. As an important symbol of Chinese civilization, the 'Grand Canal' was announced by the State Council in March 2013 as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units, and the 'China Grand Canal' was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in June 2014. This giant linear, living cultural heritage belt represents the great creativity, cohesion, and vitality of the Chinese nation, and will continue to shine brightly in the magnificent journey of creation in the new era of China.
