Résumé en anglais

Although it’s too early to announce the success of the Observation and Protection Stations-Network of Grand Canal, this network surely offered an example of the involvement of communities along the cultural routes. To protect the Grand Canal, World Heritage Candidate in China and the oldest and longest canal in the world, the Ruan-yisan Heritage Conservation Foundation established this project in 2006, providing a positive force for the protection of the Canal and encouraging the communication between governments and the public, as well as the collaboration between academics and field workers. To keep the commemorative integration of the cultural route, the stations network tried to link different towns along the heritage route together, and protect heritage from bottom to top. The paper not only introduced the structure and work of this network; it also discussed the problems during the practice, such as thefinancial resources and the role of NGO.
