en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Pinglu Canal officially entered the full water flow phase on June 3, marking a key milestone in the construction of a seaward waterway for the southwestern region.

On the same day, as the Madou and Qishi hubs began filling with water, the entire Pinglu Canal was opened to water flow and fully entered the water commissioning stage. The canal stretches 134.2 kilometers, starting from Pingtang Estuary in Hengzhou City, Guangxi, passing through Lushu Town in Lingshan County, and entering the Beibu Gulf along the Qinjiang River.

As the first river-to-sea canal project planned at the national level since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Pinglu Canal is navigable for 5,000-ton vessels and is scheduled to officially open to navigation in September this year. Once completed, goods from the southwestern region traveling via the Pinglu Canal to the sea will shorten the inland waterway distance by over 560 kilometers compared to passing through Guangzhou Port, making it the shortest, most economical, and most convenient seaward passage for the southwestern region.
