(251103) -- CANGZHOU, Nov. 3, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Staff members arrange vegetables at an agricultural cooperative, which is located along an embankment road of the Grand Canal, in Simazhuang Village of Qingxian County, Cangzhou, north China's Hebei Province, Oct. 31, 2025.

The Grand Canal, which connects Beijing in northern China and the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, has a history of more than 2,500 years and is known as the world's longest artificial waterway. An embankment road has been built along the Cangzhou section of the canal, extending 308 kilometers and connecting over 300 villages across the city. The road links natural landscapes, historical and cultural sites, and human landscapes along its line. In addition, more than ten themed parks and relevant supporting facilities have been accordingly constructed along the line, forming a multi-functional space that integrates tourism, leisure, fitness, and recreation activities. The road has not only benefited the locals but also promoted regional connectivity and injected vitality into economic and social development. (Xinhua/Mu Yu)
