THE Grand Canal, the world's longest artificial river completed in the Sui Dynasty (AD 581?618) to link Beijing and Hangzhou, has been given a new life with the recent completion of a face-lift project.

The canal's Hangzhou section, the southernmost part with the most historic sites and the richest cultural heritage, is launching three "golden routes" for tourists.

Attractions include three museums, Tangqi Old Town which dates back 1,300 years, the renovated Jixiang Temple built in Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) and abundant ancient complexes featuring the architectural style of the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
