The oldest parts of the canal date back to the 5th century BC, although the various sections were finally combined into one during the [[Sui Dynasty]] (581–618). The canal has experienced numerous expansions and restorations throughout the history. The 1,794-km canal linking five major rivers, namely, [[Haihe]], Yellow, [[Huaihe]], Yangtze, and [[Qiantangjiang]], is the longest and oldest artificial river in the world. Starting at [[Beijing]], it passes through [[Tianjin]] and the provinces of [[Hebei]], [[Shandong]], [[Jiangsu]] and [[Zhejiang]] to the city of [[Hangzhou]].
