The Sui-Tang Dynasties Grand Canal Cultural Museum in Luoyang is located at the confluence of the Luo River and Chan River in Luoyang, the heart of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal. The venue embodies the design concept of "Canal Origins, Sui-Tang Aesthetics, and Luoyang Craftsmanship," incorporating the canal's iconic arch elements as its foundational structure. These sweeping arches support both the magnificent building and the collective historical memory and imagination of canal culture. Spanning 33,000 square meters, the museum features permanent exhibitions on the first and second floors titled "The Grandeur of National Prosperity: Cultural Exhibition of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal," while the third floor hosts an interactive exhibition called "The Grain Transport Journey: A Single Rice Grain's Voyage." Temporary exhibition halls are also available.
