As an important waterway connecting Beijing and Tianjin, the Wuqing section of the Grand Canal is also the waterway gateway to the capital Beijing. For thousands of years, it has witnessed the comings and goings of countless ships and the rise and fall of the villages along the banks.

Surrounded by the canal, Dingjiaqufu Village, relying on its land resources and the surrounding water conservancy advantages, established a grape planting demonstration and promotion base in 2015. The Grape Research Institute of Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences formed a pair to support and develop modern agriculture with it. Every August and September, the village is filled with the fragrance of grapes, presenting a sweet harvest scene. The rich ingredients generously bestowed by the thousand-year-old canal are cooked into familiar daily meals, giving birth to unique cultural connotations. Nowadays, more and more enterprises in Wuqing, especially catering enterprises, are actively inheriting and carrying forward the highly distinctive canal cuisine, helping to promote the construction of the Grand Canal cultural and ecological development belt and attracting more tourists to Wuqing to taste the canal banquet and witness the beauty and prosperity of the Grand Canal!
