As the largest man-made waterway in Zhongshan's Sanjiao town, the 5.3-kilometer Xinchong River winds its way between the villages of Guangming, Panlong and Dongnan. It once lost its luster to pollution; today, it has regained its clear waters and green banks, while a diverse range of businesses has taken root along the riverway.
