Introduction to Guyun Park: Taierzhuang Guyun Park (formerly Yuehe Park, also known as Water Park and Canal Park) is an important landscape node and landscape corridor in Taierzhuang District, running through the southern part of the city in a strip shape. In the 23rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1605), the Taierzhuang section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was fully connected. It was the main channel for water transportation at that time. There were as many as 7,700 ships annually, transporting as much as 4 million shi of grain. In 1959, the canal was straightened. It was later diverted to the south of the city, leaving a 3,000-meter-long section of the ancient canal and park in the city. Because of its crescent shape, it was called the Moon River. Along its banks are ancient dwellings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, ancient revetments, ancient docks and other architectural monuments, which have important historical value.
