"The existence of Wangdian granary group directly reflects the complementary relationship between Jiaxing and the Grand Canal." According to the relevant person in charge of Xiuzhou Cultural Tourism Bureau, Jiaxing is a famous grain-producing area in China. In the past, water transportation depended on water transportation, so Jiaxing built many granaries along the Grand Canal. Among them, the Wangdian granary group is located on the bank of Changshuitang, an important tributary of Jiaxing section of Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and is an important facility for centralized storage and transportation of grain around Wangdian. At the same time, the building of Wangdian granary group has a special shape, which is rare in similar buildings in Jiaxing, reflecting the historical fact of imitating the industrial and agricultural construction mode of the Soviet Union at the beginning of the founding of New China, so the building itself also has high scientific research value. In 20 17, Wangdian granary group was rated as a provincial cultural protection unit, and now it has become a national key cultural relics protection unit on the next level.
In 2002, with the restructuring of the original Wangdian Grain Management Institute, Granary Group stopped using it. Subsequently, the periphery of the granary group was gradually occupied by a large number of "low and small scattered" enterprises. In 20 17, Wangdian Town repurchased the surrounding land, vigorously evicted more than 700 "small scattered" enterprises, and systematically planned and rectified the entire granary group. At the same time, the town planner was invited to design, properly trim the moldy and leaking eaves, and transform the abandoned houses around without destroying the original features, so that the long-lost granary can be completely renewed and returned to the public's field of vision. 20 17 the first town "city living room" in xiuzhou district was born near the granary. In addition, the Wangdian branch of Jiaxing Library, which was transformed from abandoned houses around the granary group, has been officially opened, and the Wangdian Town Party and Mass Service Center will soon be opened. Wangdian granary group area will become a brand-new landmark of Wangdian Town.
On 20 1910.7, 19, Wangdian granary group was selected as the eighth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
