Ji channel
The Ji Canal or Jiyunhe Canal ( 蓟运河 , Ji Yunhe , English Ji Canal / Jiyunhe Canal ) is a canal in the northeast of the government- direct city of Tianjin in the People's Republic of China .
The canal is fed by two rivers, one east and one west. The eastern river is the Zhou He ( 州 河 ) from the Lu'er Ling ( 芦 儿 岭 ) of the Yanshan Mountains ( 燕山 , Yan Shan ) in the northwest of Qianxi County in Hebei Province . It flows south to Jiuwanzhuang ( 九 王庄 ) in Baodi County of Tianjin, where it joins the Gou He River ( 泃 河 ) and is from there referred to as the Ji Canal ( Ji Yunhe ). Its lower reaches flows into the large municipality of Beitang ( 北 塘镇 ) in the Tanggu district of Tianjin in the Bohai Bay . Its length is 326.7 km.
It connects Ji in the north of Tianjin with Ninghe , Hangu and finally Beitang on the Gulf of Bohai and enables water transport for Sanhe , Pinggu , Yutian and Fengrun .
A fault caused by the severe earthquake in Tangshan in 1976 is named after the canal (to whose waters it belongs, among others), in which it was damaged in many places.
