North China's harbor city of Tianjin has been dedicated to developing tourism featuring the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The city has maintained both the north and south canal, planted greenery along the banks, and paved roads along the canal.

Furthermore, Tianjin developed scenic spots such as a country park in Wuqing district, a relaxing station along the north canal, a tourism area at the rivers' divergence, and Yangliuqing ancient village. It enables tourists to enjoy the charm of the world heritage site while boating on the canal.

The total length of the Tianjin section of the Grand Canal reaches 190 kilometers. The north and south canal, as well as the divergent part have been listed as a World Heritage site.
