Lingqu, Ancient waterway in Xing'an County, China
The Lingqu canal system connects the Xiang River to the Li River through a network of channels spanning across the mountainous terrain.
Built during the Qin Dynasty around 214 BC, the canal facilitated military operations and enabled transportation between northern and southern regions of China.
The canal represents the advanced engineering capabilities of ancient Chinese civilization through its water management systems and architectural design.
Visitors can reach the site by taking a bus from Guilin city to Xing'an County, where guided tours explain the canal's construction methods.
The 2,200-year-old canal remains functional today, demonstrating the durability of ancient Chinese construction techniques in water management systems.
