Lingqu Canal
The Lingqu Canal, in Xing'an County near Guilin, is a 36.4-kilometre waterway that links the Xiang River with the Li River. Qin Shi Huang ordered it in 214 BC for his military campaigns, and Shi Lu designed it. It is the oldest contour canal in the world, and it opened a route between Northern China and the Pearl River Delta. The Lingqu Canal is one of the most well-preserved ancient projects in the world.
