Ling Canal–Located in northeastern Xing’an county, Guilin, the Lingqu Canal was first excavated during the 33rd year of Qing Shihuang’s reign (214 B.C). It has been named Qing Zao Canal, along with Lingqu Canal and Xing’an Canal. Its history began when Emperor Qing Shihuang was leading his army into the south mountainous areas of China.
Due to inadequate supplies, he ordered that a tunnel be excavated to transport additional foods supplies. This resulted in the Xiangjiang River (which is a branch of the Yangtze River) connecting with the Lijiang River (which is a branch of the Pearl River). Making transportation and irrigation more convenient, the Ling Canal is constituted of two water-dividing dykes (known as ”Tianping” in Chinese), which are contrasting in size. The larger dyke is 344 meters long, and the smaller is 130 meters long, while both are 2 to 2.4 meters in height, with widths measuring 17 to 23 meters. About seventy percent of the water flows through the north channel into the Xiang River and the other thirty percent flows into the south channel leading to the Lijiang River. The north channel is 3.2 kilometers long and the south channel 33.15 kilometers long, both of which have a width of over 10 meters. To assist in draining away flood waters, spill ways were built along the watercourses in two sections along the south-channel and one along the north-channel. Also built along the watercourses are 36 sluice-gates, which can help control the volume of water and regulate the water level in order to guarantee normal navigation along the rivers. The Lingqu Canal is set amidst a karst geographical landscape where the rivers zigzag and wind around hairpin bends through gorgeous scenery.
