Limited-Time Free Offer! Only 40 Visitors Per Day for Canal Boat Experience
The long-awaited performance project on water called "Sailing along the Canal" (运上行) has entered its internal testing on March 20. During this stage, it extends a "Canal Explorer" invitation to residents and visitors, inviting you to experience a cross-time audiovisual journey.
The "Sailing along the Canal" water performance project is set within the Beijing Grand Canal Cultural Scenic Area in Tongzhou, and is a key initiative under the "Tongzhou on the Canal" tourism brand developed by the Beijing Municipal Administrative Center. The route is 3.5 kilometers long, with an estimated duration of about 50 minutes.
The project is themed around Grand Canal culture and historical goods-transportation (Caoyun) culture. It uses specialized passenger and performer boats, waterfront areas, and bridges along the route. Combined with lighting installations, shoreline stage performances, and on-board performances, it creates an immersive experience connecting water, boats, bridges and shores, telling the historical story of how various goods and cultures flowed and converged across southern and northern China via the canal.
In preparation for the official launch, the performance is currently being optimized. From today, 40 residents and visitors per day will be invited to participate in the test phase, offering an early experience of the Grand Canal at night.
