Jackson Steven William, a communications officer at the Tanzanian office of the president, was likewise impressed by the museum\u2019s collections and the use of technologies, such as virtual reality and LED displays, significantly improving visitors\u2019 experiences.<\/p>\n<p>He further emphasised how the Grand Canal was used to transport goods outside China, ensuring cities had enough water supply. Daniel Owira from Kenya highlighted that Yangzhou stood out as the cradle of civilisation, where history has been carefully and intentionally preserved, using modern technology, playing a significant role in shaping the present and guiding the future of the Chinese people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to note that Yangzhou\u2019s rich ecosystem, beautifully designed with man-made canals, serves as a water source for the citizens of Yangzhou and China at large, creating a deep connection with both nature, technology and the people,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p>Owira said it was astonishing to see more than 500 canals in the world, nurturing over 3 000 cities and cultivating brilliant cultures.<\/p>\n<p>The canal is an artificial waterway construction connecting inland and natural water resources, and he urged Africa to<\/p>\n<p>utilise resources, such as rivers and oceans that they have to boost their agricultural sectors and industrial production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to note that its ability to meander across extensively increases benefits that go beyond people, cities, nations and regions. It supports not only agriculture but also plays a pivotal role in industrial production, serving as a sports and games training centre, a hub for tourism and heritage, as well as a source for ecology and ecosystem,\u201d Owira continued. Furthermore, if Africa emulates these, the canals will be a great source of boosting the economy, facilitating both national and local trade and commerce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe canals deepen the connection of diverse cultures, hence promoting political mutual understanding and respect within the indigenous borders,\u201d he reasoned.<\/p>\n<p>Albert Krause from Germany expressed his joy in visiting the parks around the Grand Canal, interacting with local people, experiencing the special cuisine and visiting the museums. \u201cThere was always a sense of community that connected us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy experience was enlightening, realising that there are just as many waterways as foreigners coming to this city, contributing to its success and, by that, chasing one\u2019s dream was truly impacting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s Grand Canal, a vast waterway connecting the northern and southern parts of China, was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Yangzhou, a scenic city through which the Grand Canal runs, is renowned for canal-side attractions like Slender West Lake and the Sanwan Canal scenic area.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the city has been devoted to protecting its historical and cultural heritage, maintaining the distinctive features of the old town, and improving people\u2019s living environment and cultural atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Yangzhou has also fast-tracked innovation, witnessing the integration of traditional culture and the creative industry.<\/p>\n<p>With the goal of Chinese modernisation in sight, Yangzhou is making every effort to build a vibrant city, featuring technological innovation, a cultural tourism city and a beautiful, liveable city.<\/p>\n<p>Preservation and responsibility<\/p>\n<p>The locals who warmly welcomed the team explained that while the Grand Canal in Yangzhou offers a glimpse into the past, it also serves as a poignant reminder of the collective responsibility to safeguard the global heritage. They said efforts to preserve this historical treasure involve finding a balance between modern development and historical conservation.<\/p>\n<p>Yangzhou, like many cities in China, is undergoing rapid urbanisation.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, local authorities are diligently working to ensure this development respects and preserves the historical significance of the Grand Canal. Restoration projects are breathing new life into the canal\u2019s ancient infrastructure, employing traditional construction techniques and materials to maintain authenticity. This commitment to preservation not only protects the canal\u2019s historical value, but also fosters cultural exchange and tourism, bolstering the local economy.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Zhang Kai from the Institute of Communication Studies of CUC and the director of the Media Education Research Centre, who accompanied the group, shared her sentiments that the Grand Canal in Yangzhou is not just a local treasure but a symbol of shared global heritage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe international community has recognised its significance, with UNESCO designating it as a World Heritage Site. This designation underscores the canal\u2019s universal cultural importance and highlights the need for international cooperation in its preservation,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
