Features: Beijing was "floated" on the Grand Canal, The Golden Lotus Chamber was "flushed" out by the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal once "moved" the granaries of the world—how much prosperity, how many old dreams. The Grand Canal is like an immortal soul, animating the endless life of China. In a sense, without the Grand Canal, there would be no Beijing, no The Golden Lotus Chamber, no Dream of the Red Chamber, and even no Zheng He's voyages.
