The Beitai River, a waterway about 6.5 kilometers long that runs through Zhongshan's South District, one of the best-known overseas Chinese hometowns, threads together green hills, ancient villages, gardens and farmland. It has become a "ten-mile gallery" in which scenery unfolds at every turn.

South District will continue to make the most of its water resources, developing waterfront leisure facilities, outdoor sports, holiday stays and study tours.
