The Canal Hub, a brand new cultural landmark in Wuxi, East China's Jiangsu province, opened to the public on July 1.

As a new landmark along the Grand Canal, the hub was renovated from the Wuxi Iron and Steel Works, which was established in 1958. The new hub makes full use of the industrial remains to preserve the old industrial culture.
