The Lingqu Canal is located in Xing'an County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China. It connects the Xiang River with the Li River, 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 boats to travel 2,000 kilometres from the latitude of Beijing to Hong Kong. The canal has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites tentative List.
