Prior to this, other ship locks such as Yongning, Laokou, and Honghua on the Xijiang Main Line had already completed their maintenance and resumed navigation one after another. As the last hub ship lock to resume navigation in this maintenance cycle, the successful resumption of navigation of the Datengxia ship lock signifies the full resumption of navigation along the Xijiang Main Line in Guangxi.
