Grand Canal

1,776 Km

Beijing-Hebei-Shandong-Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Hagzhou. The Grand Canal in
China was opened in 485BC to join the main rivers and it was extended over
the centuries. It is still used to move goods and people because the roads in
China are very rough and bumpy. Most canals, like Suez and Panama, were built
to shorten journeys for shipping. Another canal that shortens a sea journey
is the Kiel canal in Germany. The journey from the North Sea to the Baltic
was cut from 480km. to just 98km., when it opened in 1895.
