Suqian gives canal's rust belt a face-lift

Several years ago, to revitalize the industrial heritage along the Zhong Canal for urban renewal, the Suqian government hired professionals to give the nine warehouses a major face-lift while retaining their original architectural features.

The warehouses have metamorphosed into a six-hectare park featuring libraries, hotels, bars, markets, sports venues and spaces for performance art, enticing residents of all ages to frequent for leisure and fun.

The highlight of the park is the Shuizhi Art Museum where 80-odd photographs focused on the Suqian section of the Zhong Canal are on display.
