The Grand Canal,also known as the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal,is the longest artificial river in the world.Starting in the capital Beijing,it passes through Tianjin City,Hebei Province,Shandong Province and Jiangsu Province,and flows on to Zhejiang’s Hangzhou City,linking China’s five main river basins,including the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.From ancient to modern times,the Grand Canal has continued to serve as a link between northern and southern China.
