倚水而兴的“运河之都”

The "Canal City" Thriving By the Water

穿行济宁城区中,古老的京杭大运河济宁段几经整修,皆用青石垒砌,两岸绿树成荫,杨柳低垂,处处透着江南气息。黛瓦粉墙的砖木结构,清一色的旧式门板店面,每一个檐角,每一块店号牌匾,都沉淀着深厚的文化底蕴。因水多灵动,因城多厚重。运河汤汤,浸润着这座倚水而兴的文化之城;船行浩荡,承载起几百年商业兴衰。

Walking through downtown Jining,you will find the renovated Jining Section of the old Grand Canal built of bluestone,lined with low-hanging willows.The ambience of the area south of the Yangtze River permeates everywhere.
