When does it set sail?
Many friends are concerned about when the entire 40-kilometer Tongzhou section will be fully navigable. Bian Xiao learned that the whole Tongzhou section will be opened to cruise ships at the end of June, 20021.
Brief introduction of Tongzhou grand canal
Last year, I visited the line 1 1 km from Tongzhou Beiguan Gate to Gan Tang Gate of the North Canal. After the navigation from Beiguan Gate to Gan Tang Gate, three routes were opened to tourists, starting from Pier 2 of the Canal Olympic Sports Park and going to the water transport pier of the Grand Canal Forest Park, the pier of Liu Yin Square in the Forest Park and the rubber dam in Gan Tang. The sailing time is about 60 minutes, and the transportation capacity can reach about 400 people per hour.
After navigation, new energy ships 12 were used, including 3 ships with 80 seats, 2 modified ships and 7 ships with 34 seats.
At that time, the Grand Canal was also open for night tours.
Tongzhou District relies on the Grand Canal, with the bridge as the point and the shore as the line, and displays the historical features and riverside landscape of Tongzhou through the light show of important nodes, thus forming the whole night lighting system.
Among them, the light show of the Canal Business District with the theme of "Universiade's past and present" shows Tongzhou's "history, present and future" in yellow, white and blue respectively. The light show is 3.8 kilometers long, equipped with 56 multimedia interpretation buildings, connected in series with riverbanks, landscapes and central axis squares to create a city-level interactive and fully immersed waterfront light show, bringing a light and shadow feast to citizens and tourists.
In the future, Tongzhou District will also explore various forms of ornamental projects such as water music fountain, canoe and water light show. Combined with the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait, the Grand Canal will be built into a beautiful water park for sightseeing during the day and viewing at night.
Cruise navigation in Tongzhou section of the North Canal is an important part of the construction of an eco-city layout with blue and green interwoven, fresh and bright, and water city integration in Beijing's sub-center, and it is also one of the key projects for the protection, inheritance and utilization of the Beijing Grand Canal cultural belt.
Cross-line navigation of cruise ships will coordinate the allocation of water resources by carrying out projects such as river regulation, construction and renovation of bank protection facilities, construction of ship locks and docks, and renovation of bridge facilities, so as to realize "navigation" of cruise ships;
By exploring the cultural, leisure and tourism resources of Tongzhou Canal, we will study the new yacht format and embody the characteristic "tour"; Improve and upgrade the landscape of the entire canal and bridge, and build docks along the canal to create a "beautiful" landscape.
From Beiguan Gate of the North Canal to Gan Tang Gate, the surface water quality has reached the V-class water standard stably, which is in line with the tourist landscape water standard. The latest monitoring results show that the water quality is close to class.
Continue to promote the navigation of the North Canal, constantly upgrade supporting facilities and tourism services, and increase product categories according to market demand. Such as providing boat meals, performances, night flights, increasing water commercial services, displaying intangible products, selling Beijing gifts and Tongzhou snacks, and traveling to supplementary commodities.
The above is all the information of navigation in Tongzhou section. Let's look forward to the passage of Tongzhou Grand Canal! At that time, we will all enjoy the natural scenery!
