Construction of Pinglu Canal In Qinzhou - China

(251218) -- QINZHOU, Dec. 18, 2025 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo shows Qinjiang double-track railway grand bridge over the Pinglu Canal in Qinzhou, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Dec. 17, 2025. 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
