The Pinglu Canal is an important channel to the sea in Guangxi’s inland water transport planning. It is about 133 kilometers long. It starts at the mouth of the Pingtang River at the Xijin Reservoir in Hengxian County, and then crosses the watershed southward along the Shaping River and passes through Lingshan. The county's Luwu Town enters the Qinjiang River and goes south to Qinzhou Shajing out to sea. Most of the canal was modified on the existing Shaping River and Qinjiang River.

There are 6 kilometers of river channels mainly in the watershed that need to be newly dug. The entire canal has a height difference of 60 meters and can accommodate 3,000-ton sea vessels. The total investment in the canal is about 60 billion.
