The museum combines elements in the Tang Dynasty (618-906 A.D) to the architecture style.

The Grand Canal, with a total length of 1,776 km, starts from Beijing and runs over provinces to Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province. The King of the State of Wu ordered to build a canal called Han Gou (now locates at Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province) 2,500 years ago in the late Spring and Autumn period (770-476 BC). Han Gou is also the earliest section of the China Grand Canal with a definite date.
