Three years on, the construction of the Pinglu Canal as a core component of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor has shown remarkable progress. Upon completion, the 134.2-km canal would wind its way across Nanning and Qinzhou of Guangxi until it reaches the Beibu Gulf. It is expected to serve as an artery for river-sea inter-modal transportation in the southwestern part of the country. Photo by Zhang Ailin/XInhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
