The ship's name and number changed back to Linghai Tuo 012's 001, towing thirteen barges, finally passing the ship lock after a day and a half wait and entering the first lake of the Grand Canal's Jiangbei Section -- Shaobo Lake!
In the evening, Shaobo Lake was a blend of lake and sky.
The green trees on both banks faintly visible, lush and verdant, seemed like a green dragon winding around the clear lake water.
Gazing across the lake, the expanse of mist-covered waters and dotted fish sails stretched beyond sight. Suddenly looking back, cargo ships still weave in and out, witnessing the Grand Canal's past and present prosperity.
There are many ships in the Yangtze River Binjiang section, but the river is also very wide.
Only upon entering the Grand Canal can one truly feel how dense the ships are.
As far as the eye can see, ships are everywhere.
