Tianjin Ancient Canal Scenic Park

　　      Introduction      Located in the southern part of Yangliuqing Town, this section of the old course of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs from west to east in an "M" shape. A newly excavated canal connects to the old one, forming a circular waterway stretching 4.1 kilometers in total, starting from Erjing Road in the east and extending to 14th Street in the south. The old canal has been appropriately widened, with the water surface reaching 40 meters in width, offering an open view while maintaining a suitable spatial scale between the water and the surrounding architecture. The entire scenic area features eight main attractions, along with an artificial lake connected to the canal, where the Wenchang Pavilion stands on a peninsula. Heading east leads to the newly built Ming-Qing Street, which ends at the Shi Family Courtyard. To the west lies the Imperial River Folk Street, reconstructed in ancient style, followed by the An Family Ancestral Hall. After visiting the hall, visitors can board a boat to admire the scenery along both banks. Continuing along the waterway, you’ll find well-preserved landmarks including the Guan Yu Temple, the Gratitude Temple, and the Puliang Pagoda.
