平陆运河：广西出海新通道，助力大西南经济发展
中国，广西 - 长期以来，广西虽有江临海，却因水系不通导致货物需绕道珠江从广州出海。这一局面即将随着平陆运河的建设彻底改变。这条新中国成立以来首条通江达海的大运河，将成为西部陆海新通道的骨干工程。
China, Guangxi - For years, Guangxi's water transport required cargo to detour through the Pearl River to Guangzhou despite its coastal location. This will change with the construction of the Pinglu Canal, China's first river-sea canal since 1949, becoming a backbone project of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor.
平陆运河全长134.2公里，总投资约727亿元，预计2026年12月主体建成。建成后，广西及云南、贵州等地的船舶可直接经北部湾出海，较原航线平均缩短560公里以上，为西南地区开辟最便捷的国际水运通道。
The 134.2km Pinglu Canal with 72.7 billion yuan investment is scheduled for completion by December 2026. It will provide the shortest sea access for Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou through Beibu Gulf, cutting average shipping distance by over 560km.
战略意义 Strategic Significance
平陆运河将实现：
- 南向：缩短至东盟1100公里，至新加坡740公里
- 北向：为贵州节省700公里至越南
- 西向：为云南节省1930公里
- 东向：连接粤港澳大湾区新通道
The canal will:
- Southbound: Shorten routes to ASEAN by 1100km, Singapore by 740km
- Northbound: Save 700km for Guizhou to Vietnam
- Westbound: Reduce 1930km for Yunnan
- Eastbound: Connect new channels to Greater Bay Area
经济效益：预计2035年货运量达9550万吨，2050年1.2亿吨，每年为西部省份节省运费超52亿元。
Economic Benefits: Projected annual cargo volume reaching 95.5 million tons by 2035 and 120 million by 2050, saving over 5.2 billion yuan in transport costs yearly for western regions.
