每日一词∣大运河 Grand Canal
The Beijing-Hebei section in the northern stretch of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal opened to navigation for tourism on Friday, giving visitors a chance to appreciate views of the Chinese capital and its neighboring Hebei Province along the canal. It marks the first time that Beijing launched inter-provincial waterway and inter-provincial water transport for tourism. The opening of the Beijing-Hebei section of the Grand Canal is another important move to advance the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
