Nowadays, in Nanhu Lake, Jiaxing, tourists from all over the country come in droves to admire the Red Boat, revisit the history of the Party, and experience the red culture.
There is also a memorial hall and a heritage site by the South Lake waterfront. The South Lake Revolution Memorial Hall, with a total area of nearly 20000 square meters, comprehensively utilizes modern high-tech methods such as sound, light, and electricity to deeply explore and vividly display the historical materials of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which is refreshing.

CCTV reporter Wang Jie: The Millennium Canal passes through the city and is naturally formed by the layout of Hecheng Town and Shuicheng Street. The Changhong Bridge where I am currently located is the first stop of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal entering Zhejiang. There is a saying among the people of Jiaxing: walking along the canals of Jiaxing, one can feel the water of spring and autumn, the towns of Tang and Song dynasties, and the neighborhoods of Ming and Qing dynasties. Nowadays, well preserved ancient towns and historical and cultural districts are still good places for Jiaxing people to seek poetic life and nostalgia.
Along the 110 kilometer stretch of the Jiaxing section of the Grand Canal, the millennium old town is the most distinctive urban symbol, both trendy and rustic, each with its own brilliance.
