京杭大運河，綿亙中國南北，連京達杭；自隋煬帝始鑿，經歷代修葺，爲國用輸糧通商之重道。如今成爲水利與文化遺產，兼具航運、調水與風景之利。
The Grand Canal, stretching across northern and southern China to link Beijing and Hangzhou, was first excavated under Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty (581–618 CE). Through successive dynasties of expansion and maintenance, it became a vital artery for national grain transport and commerce. Today, it is a celebrated water conservancy and cultural heritage site, serving the triple purpose of navigation, water diversion, and tourism.
