The Canal Capital, Cultural Jining. Jining is an important hub of the Grand Canal, and the Canal Governor's Office during the Ming and Qing dynasties was located here. The Grand Canal stretches for 230 kilometers within Jining, becoming the cultural artery of the city. When you come to Jining, after visiting the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, it is a must to walk along the canal. In Jining, without spending a penny on tickets, you encounter the living Grand Canal, meet the bustling Liangshan Port, encounter the Nanwang Diversion Hub that has been preserved in the form of ruins, and experience the thousand-year-old lifestyle in the streets and alleys of the ancient canal. Two days' time, to cover more ground, the itinerary is quite special forces-like, very suitable for college students who are not afraid of getting tired and want to travel on a budget, allowing you to walk and get to know the Grand Canal that has stepped out of history books.

Taibai Tower is located on the north bank of the ancient canal in Rencheng District, Jining City, Shandong Province, in the middle of Taibai Tower Road. It is named after Li Bai often drinking and composing poems here. After generations of repairs, it has been famous for more than a thousand years and is one of the eight ancient scenes of Rencheng (now Jining). The current Taibai Tower was rebuilt in 1952. In December 2013, Jining Taibai Tower was listed as a famous historical and cultural tower in China. Currently, no appointment is needed, you can visit as soon as you enter, and the museum closes at five in the afternoon.
