An 8700-kilometre natural gas pipeline linking Turkmenistan with southern China has begun operations, helping to boost supplies to the country's booming industrial region, the Xinhua News Agency reports.

The 142.2 billion yuan ($A20.6 billion) pipeline, which started operating on Thursday, passes through 15 of China's provinces to reach the Pearl River Delta region near Hong Kong, Xinhua says.

The gas pipeline will provide up to 30 million cubic meters of natural gas a year, helping to reduce China's reliance on heavily polluting coal.
