East China's Huai'an city has taken comprehensive measures including reducing livestock farms and canceling a tourism program to protect the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is the longest man-made canal in the world.
"We have treated more than 27 kilometers of the waterways to protect the environment and reduced more than 7,727 hectares of livestock farms," said Wang Honghong, vice-mayor of the city and a member of the 13th CPPCC National Committee.
Besides, the city has launched many biological restoration programs along the canal, she said.
"We also made strict regulations to protect the ecosystem along the canal. The three industrial parks near the canal are required to improve technologies to better protect the neighboring environment," Wang said.
According to her, the city canceled a travel program that would have attracted an investment of more than 10 billion yuan ($1.5 billion) to protect an archaeological site during exploration.
The canal runs through 93 kilometers in Huai'an, which accounts for one seventh of the man-made waterway listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage site in 2014.
Stretching 1,797 km between Beijing and Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, the canal's history dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and was completed in the Sui Dynasty (581-618).
"It requires hard work and research to protect the time-honored canal," Wang said. "We'll continue to restore the ecology and culture about the canal and share our experience with other cities for more effective protection."

中国东部的淮安市采取多项有效措施，包括修复生态系统、叫停旅游项目等，来保护迄今为止世界上最长的古老运河。
“我们积极推进碧水工程，整治河道超过27公里，破拆养殖圈圩（围）超过7727公顷。”全国政协委员、淮安市副市长王红红说。
该市已推出多项环保项目来打造大运河生态廊道和生态屏障。
“我们制定严格规划，严守大运河畔生态红线，在3个大运河沿线园区推动技术创新和循环化改造，来有效推动环境保护。”
据王红红说，淮安在组织勘探过程中发现了一处重要遗址，该市立即叫停了拟在此投资100多亿元的旅游项目，决定把遗址发掘保护起来。
大运河在淮安境内全长93公里，约占全线世界文化遗产的七分之一。在2014年，大运河被联合国教科文组织列为世界非物质文化遗产。
连通浙江省杭州市和北京的京杭大运河全长1797公里，它的历史可追溯至春秋时期，在隋朝最终修筑完成。
“大运河文化带淮安段建设是一项长期的课题，需要我们久久为功。”王红红表示，下一阶段，淮安将扎实做好文化传承、生态修复等重点工作，在大运河文化带建设中创造和分享淮安经验、作出淮安贡献。
