About the Yellow river

• The Yellow River, or Huanghe, is the second
  longest river in China. Tracing to a source high
  up the majestic yagradagze mountain in the
  nation's far west , it loops north, bends south ,
  into the sea, draining a basin of 745,000 sq km,
  which nourishes 120 million people. Millennia ago
  the Chinese civilization emerged from the central
  region of this basin. The Yellow River basin is
  outline in red. and Shaanxi provinces.

The muddy river

• The river turns muddy once it enters the middle
  reaches which drain the loess plateau. The top
  picture shows the river near Hekouzhen in Inner
  Mongolia, which marks the beginning of the middle
  reaches. The river picks up more and more of the
  sediment as it flows down the gorge section.

Where it is

The Chinese river

• The Huang He river is in China and the length
  of it is 5,464Km. Rising in Qinghai province in
  the west of the country, it winds eastwards to
  the Bohai Gulf on the Yellow Sea. The names
  Yellow River and Yellow Sea derive from the
  great quantities of fine yellow particles of the
  soil known as loess (originally wind-blown from
  central Asia) which the river carries. The
  deposition of this material helps to explain why
  the river is sometimes known as China's sorrow
  because of disastrous floods. Flooding is now
  largely controlled through hydroelectric works,
  dykes, and embankments, but the barriers are
  ceasing to work because loess deposited as silt
  continues to raise the river bed.

The YELLOW river

• When it is sunset you can see the mountains
  behind the river and if you look closely you can
  see that the river is actually yellow.

What the river was like before

• The river used to be a road but over the years it
  became the Huang He river (Yellow river.)
• Before the river it had patches of grass but
  mostly a dusty and rocky landscape.

What it is surrounded by

• This second largest river in China is surrounded
  by lots of grassy mountains and if you climb on
  top of them you will find that you will see an
  amazing view.
