Yu River (China)
The Yu River (郁江 or 鬱江) (also called the Siang River) is a river in the south of China. It rises in two branches - the Zuo River (左江) and the You River (右江). The You flows roughly southeast from its sources in Yunnan province, the Tuoniang River (north) and the Xiyang River (south), which combine in the south of Tianlin County under the jurisdiction of Baise City in Guangxi. The Zuo flows northeast, also from two sources which begin in Vietnam. These are the Bằng River (known as Shuikuo in its lower course in China), which flows through Cao Bằng from the northwest, and the larger Kỳ Cùng River (known as Ping'er in its lower course in China) that originates from the southwest. After the confluence of said You and Zuo rivers the stream is then known as the Yong Jiang (邕江) as it flows through Nanning before becoming the Yu. The Yu itself runs roughly northeast before joining the Qian River (黔江) at Guiping to form the Xun River. The Yong-Yu river prope ...

Hongshui River
The Hongshui River is a major river in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in Southern China. It is one of the main rivers in the basin of the Xi River, which in its turn is one of the main tributaries of the Pearl River. Because it flows through the red rock series area, the river is reddish brown, hence the name ''Hongshui River'' (). Conventionally, the Hongshui River is formed by the merging of the Beipan and Nanpan Rivers (Beipanjiang and Nanpanjiang, i.e., the Northern and Southern Pan Rivers) at the Guizhou-Guangxi border. From there, it flows in the general southeastern direction. In Laibin Prefecture in central Guangxi the Hongshui merges with the Liu River that comes from the north, forming the Qian River, which continues to the east toward, eventually, the Xi River. The Hongshui has 10 large dams on it, that provide electric power and flood control. According to the ''Beijing Review'' the Hongshui River had 300 shoals that interfered with navigating the river wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to Geographical feature, geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size.
