Thousands of boats come to a halt in the Taierzhuang section of the 1,800-kilometre Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal on Tuesday, as a result of a traffic ban due to floods in East China's Shandong Province. The Grand Canal, containing 24 locks and 60 bridges, is the world's longest man-made waterway, and connects the cities of Beijing in the north and Hangzhou in East China's Zhejiang Province. Building of the canal first began in 486 BC.(Xinhua) |
