Must-visit spots in Yangzhou Canal Sanwan Park! Yangzhou Canal Sanwan Park is a place particularly suitable for strolling, fitness, and self-emptying

Sanwan equals one dam
Baota Bay, Xinhe Bay, Sanwanzi, these three bends are collectively referred to as Sanwan. Since the Tang Dynasty, a large amount of grain from the south of the Yangtze River was concentrated here and transported to the capital. The Huai River upstream passed through Sanwan here, and the water potential was directly discharged without storage, causing the grain ships and salt ships to often run aground when passing here. To solve this problem, in 1597, Guo Guangfu, the prefect of Yangzhou at that time, changed the river course from straight to curved, turning the original 100-meter-long river course into more than 1,700 meters, forming three bends to increase the length and tortuosity of the river course. The method of raising the water level and slowing down the water flow, so that the grain transportation and salt transportation in the Yangzhou section become smoother, is called Sanwan equals one dam.

Today's Yangzhou Sanwan Park has become a city leisure park, one of the twelve scenes of the canal, whether you look from the air, walk on the shore, or cruise on the water, you can feel its beauty. There are many attractions here, such as the Grand Canal Museum Ring Walkway, Silhouette Bridge, Qinse Bridge, Lingbo Bridge, Rain Listening Pavilion, Bird Watching House, Jinshan Distant View, City Reading Room, etc. What are the must-visit spots for the first time?
