Epilogue:
As a millennium-old transportation hub, Tongzhou in Beijing has witnessed the economic prosperity and social development brought by the excavation of the ancient Grand Canal.
In the new era of transformation and development, Tongzhou continues its historical mission. Behind its new appearance is the government’s commitment to preserving cultural heritage, prioritizing ecology, and enhancing people’s well-being through long-term efforts.
When cutting-edge technology elegantly and intriguingly showcases stories of the past, when the romanticism of ancient and modern people meets on the Grand Canal, and when square dancing becomes the backdrop to ancient pagodas and temples, New China becomes tangible.
Suzhou
Begin at a silk workshop where you will witness how quaint cocoons are transformed into luxurious fabrics. Then, at the Silk Embroidery Research Institute, marvel at intricate, lifelike images of animals, landscapes, and figures stitched with hair-thin silk threads. Later, at the Sandalwood Fan Factory, get involved with creating a fragrant sandalwood fan, once a symbol of scholarly refinement. Finally, visit the Taohuawu New Year Painting Museum and appreciate traditional woodblock prints.
