A grand-scale online themed campaign focused on promoting the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal kicked off on Saturday in Yangzhou, East China's Jiangsu province, to mark the 10th anniversary of the world's longest man-made waterway being recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Renowned as a marvel of Chinese engineering, the Grand Canal boasts a history of over 2,500 years and stretches an impressive 3,200 kilometers. It connects 35 cities across eight provinces and municipalities, serving as a vital artery for transportation and trade.
