North Canal Scenic Area

　　The North Canal was historically known as the "Imperial River." It is an important first-class waterway in Tianjin and a key component of the Haihe River’s main course, serving functions such as flood control and water diversion from the Luan River. In 2001, Tianjin launched a comprehensive management project for the North Canal, with a total investment of 470 million yuan. The project included the construction of four themed parks: the Luan Shui Garden, Beiyang Garden, Imperial River Garden, and Recreation Garden, as well as one new rubber dam, three new bridges, and 18 new docks. Additionally, 900,000 square meters of green space were added, bringing the total area of river surface and greenery to 2.1 million square meters. After comprehensive management, the North Canal now boasts clear water, lush embankments, smooth flood discharge, an elegant environment, and abundant tourism resources, making it a beautiful scenic attraction.
