The grand canal improved trading between northern and southern China by giving them a waterway with enough space for many ships and boats to sail in. This increased trade time, rather than on foot. The grand canal was a little over 1,000 miles long and about 2 miles wide, which gave traders a quick route to get from one end of China to the next.
