The group is touring to Russia from August 14 to 24. As a part of the "Meeting World Famous Canal" world tour began in 2017, the group has met seven world's famous canals including the Canal du Midi, the Kiel Canal, the Suez Canal, the Corinth Canal, the Erie Canal, and the Panama Canal. This time the group will meet the Moscow Canal.

Intertwining tradition and modernity, combining history and future and coupled with the great love of nature, this performance not only showcases the historical style of the Grand Canal but also strongly expresses the accurate and complete thought and judgment of the real fate of the cultural heritage.
