Yellow River

Qinghai province is the source of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is regarded as China's "mother river" and the cradle of Chinese culture. After the Yangtze, this China's second-longest river passes through eight provinces and autonomous territories before draining into the Bohai Sea in eastern China's Shandong province. The river is known as the Yellow River in Chinese because it flows across the Loess Plateau in northwest China and has yellow and turbid water.


As you all know, people's habit is that they dwell along the banks of large rivers. There are numerous great and tiny rivers in China that create countless wonders while witnessing the ups and downs of the Chinese people's history. More typical, the Yellow River of China has been the birthplace of Chinese civilization. Furthermore, the 5,464-kilometer river feeds roughly 12% of China's population, irrigates about 15% of fertile land, sustains 14% of the country's GDP, and distributes water to more than 60 cities.
