平陆运河全线通水，西南出海新通道初现
On June 3, the Pinglu Canal reached a key milestone as water filled its entire 134.2-kilometer length, marking the start of the water commissioning phase. This brings the ambitious project closer to its goal of linking the Pearl River system with the Beibu Gulf, offering a faster route to the sea for southwestern China's cargo.
The canal begins at the Xijin reservoir on the Yujiang River and ends at Qinzhou port. Once operational, it will slash travel distances for ships from inland provinces by hundreds of kilometers compared to the current route through the Pearl River Delta. This shortcut promises lower fuel costs and quicker turnaround for bulk goods, making it a strategic asset for regional logistics.
