Lingqu Lingqu Lingqu, which communicated the Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River, opened the water passage between the north and the south, provided an important guarantee for the Qin Dynasty to unify Lingnan. A large number of grain and grass were transported to Lingnan by water, and sufficient supplies were provided. In 214 B.C., the year Lingqu was opened to navigation, Qin soldiers conquered Lingnan, and then established Guilin, Xiangjun and Nanhai counties to formally incorporate Lingnan into the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Lingqu connects the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, forming a water transport network throughout East China and South China. Since the Qin Dynasty, it has played a positive role in consolidating national unity, strengthening political, economic and cultural exchanges between the North and the South, and closing the contacts of people of all ethnic groups. Although Lingqu has been renovated for generations, it still plays an important role. Playing here can be on foot or in a non-motorized boat. It is recommended to take a boat and go down the river. The attraction features beautiful female guides playing zither while explaining on the boat.
