Red-Flag Canal, a masterpiece laurelled as “the Amazing Wonder of the World of an Artificial River”, is a monument to the industry and wisdom of Linzhou people created since the birth of PPC, valuable both in the material sense and the spiritual. Traditional Chinese virtues of co-operation, solidification, creation and sacrifice, manifested in this project by Linzhou people, were widely admired everywhere in China. “The new-born China has two wonders: the Yangtze River Bridge in Nanjing and the Red-Flag Canal in Linxian County (now called Linzhou)”, Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai told his foreign friends proudly in the 1970s.

Located on the joint point of three provinces on the north part of the Linzhou City 20km to the downtown area, the Red-Flag Canal enjoys convenient communication and superior location as an ideal tour site of majestic and elegant natural views as well as splendid humane sights of special attractions. The Red-Flag Canal, an artificial wonder famous for its hardship, effort-consuming in construction and also its high aesthetic value, winds through the splendid Taihang Mountains, one of the most significant view of north China, like a beautiful blue ribbon. Tourists may be impressed by a mingled air of both the rural primitive and the vast connotation brought by the wonderful combination of the splendid, majestic, rugged, elegant natural beauty in Mountain Linlv and the attractive humane masterpiece of the Red-Flag Canal winding through the Taihang Mountains on cliffs and mountainsides. The Red-Flag Canal scenic site is made up of three spots, namely the Watershed Garden, the Youth Cave and the Luosi Pond which are connected with each other in different styles.

Therefore, they can have a better understanding of Chairman Mao Zedong' exclamation “It is the people that are the creator of the world”.
