Pinglu Canal prepares for opening with full-scale navigation drill #CoolChina

A full-scale vessel navigation drill was held on the Pinglu Canal on Thursday in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, ahead of the canal's official opening. The drill brought together 14 organizations and more than 20 vessels, according to the Pinglu Canal Group, including 5,000-tonne-class inland cargo ships, container ships, seagoing vessels and passenger ferries, while putting the canal's smart monitoring capabilities through a real-world test. The 134.2-km Pinglu Canal is a key project in China's New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, a freight network designed to improve links between the country's western regions and overseas markets. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
