Earlier in the 214 BC, Emperor Qinshihuang marched into Lingnan (south of the Five Ridges in south China, including today's Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan provinces) to reunite China and built the world-famous great ancient water conservancy project – Ling Canal. Since the ancient times, "With the Great Wall by the north, and the ditch by the south" has become a favorite tale. Xu Xiake (China's ancient travel book writer) traveled here in those days, intoxicated by the magnificent project and natural landscape.
