- Lingqu_Canal abstract "The Lingqu Canal (simplified Chinese: 灵渠; traditional Chinese: 靈渠; pinyin: Líng Qú, often called the Magic Canal) is located in Xing'an County, near Guilin, in the northeastern corner of Guangxi Province, China. It connects the Xiang River (which flows north into the Yangtze) with the Li River (which flows south into the Gui River and Xijiang), and thus is part of a historical waterway between the Yangtze and the Pearl River Delta. It was the first canal in the world to connect two river valleys and enabled ships to travel 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) from the latitude of Beijing to Hong Kong.In 214 BC, Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), ordered the construction of a canal connecting the Xiang and the Li rivers, in order to attack the Baiyue tribes in the south. The architect who designed the canal was Shi Lu (Chinese: 史祿). It is the oldest contour canal in the world,[citation needed] receiving its water from the Xiang. Its length reaches 36.4 km and it was fitted with thirty-six flash locks by 825 AD and there is a clear description of pound locks in the twelfth century, which were probably installed in the tenth or eleventh century. Its design also served water conservation by diverting up to a third of the flow of the Xiang to the Li.The canal has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites tentative List.".
