Pinglu Canal

Guangxi, China

The Pinglu Canal (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Pínglù yùnhé, Jyutping: Peng4 luk6 wan6 ho4), is a 134.2-kilometer inland river I-class waterway under construction between Xijin reservoir on the Yu river in Hengzhou and the lower part of the Qin River, allowing access to the Gulf of Tonkin. The canal will shorten the route between inland Guangxi and the sea by up to 560 km (350 mi). It is China's first river-to-sea canal since the founding of the People's Republic.
