Is it illegal to grow vegetables along the Suzhou Canal?

Illegal.

There are control lines on both sides of the river. Farming is not allowed within the control lines. If you farm, you will be required to restore it to its original appearance and be punished by the public security organs. Both sides of the river, especially the embankments, are used to protect the people and property on both sides of the river. If cultivated privately, it will cause damage to the river or the embankment, causing the river embankment or river bank to become loose. When the water rises, the protective effect of the river embankment or river bank will be reduced. Big discount.
