The history of Yu He ancient road can be traced back to more than 700 years ago. In order to extend the northern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the Imperial City, Guo Shoujing, a water conservancy expert in the Yuan Dynasty, built this river. However, this ancient river crossing the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties gradually declined in the long river of history and was buried under layers of houses.
In the past five years, Beijing has been relocated and rebuilt, and the 700-year-old "Old Road in Hebei Section of Yu He" has reappeared. Li Sanhe, which has disappeared for a hundred years, has restored its Li San waterway, and the beautiful scenery of water flowing through the streets and lanes reappears in Beijing: water waves are rippling, reeds are abundant, and fish are jumping in it; The quaint bungalow courtyard with grey walls and tiles on both sides of the river is spread along the river.
The reconstructed waterway in the northern section of Yu He is reconstructed strictly along the direction of the ancient river, from Wanning Bridge to Dongba Bridge, with a total length of 480m, an average width of 1 8m and a water depth of about1m.. A waterside pavilion, a curved bridge, two ship lanes and four platforms have been rebuilt on the river bank, which makes the whole Yu He River more unified and complete, and also provides convenience for citizens to come for sightseeing and leisure.
