Taierzhuang: Ancient Chinese Town Rebuilt Over Its Ruins

Built during the rules of the Qin (221-207 BC) and the Han Dynasties (206 BC-220 AD), the ancient city of Taierzhuang is a World Cultural Heritage site at the center of the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal. Due to its social and economic status, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) declared the site “the First Town on the Earth.”
