The Dasheng Dock and the Shuihui Garden in Nantong, East China’s Jiangsu province, were included in a list of 40 most beautiful landmarks along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the province.

The news was announced during an activity called “looking for the Jiangsu memory of the Grand Canal,” which was hosted by the provincial publicity, transport, water resources, cultural and tourism, and cultural heritage departments in Zhenjiang on June 4.

The list was made following evaluations based on online popularity and expert opinion.
