The significance of building Pinglu Canal in Guangxi lies in

Construction of Pinglu Canal in Guangxi;

The Pinglu Canal starts from the Pingtang River estuary in Nanning, passes through Luwu Town, Lingshan, Qinzhou, and enters the Beibu Gulf along the Qinjiang River, with a total length of about 140 km.

The significance of building Pinglu Canal in Guangxi is as follows:

1, so that Guangxi can truly transform into a coastal province.

In 2008, Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone started construction, with the goal of creating the "fourth pole" of coastal growth in China. However, after 10 years, the economy of Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone not only can't compete with the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, but also doesn't play a leading role in driving the development of Guangxi.

2. Sitting on the open door facing ASEAN.

Nowadays, with the opening of China-Laos Railway, Yunnan's position as the "bridgehead" of South Asia and Southeast Asia is more prominent, which is not without great pressure for Guangxi. Therefore, if Guangxi wants to "make a comeback" again, it must develop southward, open up new sea passages and meet the challenges of Yunnan. In recent years, Beibu Gulf Port has made great progress through sea-rail combined transport, with container throughput reaching 5 million TEUs, ranking among the top ten coastal ports for the first time.

3. Pilot project of inland river shipping development.

According to the 202 1 report of the Ministry of Transport, by the end of 2020, the navigable mileage of inland waterways in China was127,700 km, and the mileage of high-grade waterways with 3,000 tons and above was14,400 km, accounting for1/0.3% of the total mileage, while that of the United States was. Obviously, the proportion of inland river shipping in China is obviously very small. With the national goal of "double carbon", the advantages of large inland shipping volume, low cost and low energy consumption have promoted it to a brand-new strategic height.
