The Lingqu (traditional Chinese: 靈渠; simplified Chinese: 灵渠; pinyin: Líng Qú) is a canal in Xing'an County, near Guilin, in the northwestern corner of Guangxi, China. It connects the Xiang River (which flows north into the Yangtze) with the Li River (which flows south into the Gui River and Xijiang, the latter is one of the major tributaries of Pearl River), and thus is part of a historical waterway between the Yangtze and the Pearl River Delta.
