浙東運河繊道

The Eastern Zhejiang Canal incorporates stone pathways and engineered structures that supported the movement of boats through manual towing methods across waterways.

The canal system emerged during the Sui Dynasty in the 6th century, developing into a critical transportation network that connected different regions of imperial China.

The preserved sections of the towpath system demonstrate traditional Chinese engineering methods and the historical importance of water transportation in eastern China.

Visitors can access multiple viewing points along the canal where information boards explain the mechanical principles of the ancient towing systems.

Local stone materials used in the construction of these paths have endured centuries of use, displaying remarkable durability against water exposure.
