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 kilometers overland between Northern China and the Pearl River Delta. It is also one of the most well-preserved such projects in the world.
