The Yellow River, a great river in northern China, is about 5464 kilometers long and has a basin area of about 752443 square kilometers. The fifth longest river in the world and the second longest river in China.
The northern source of the Yellow River originated from Zaqu at the southern foot of Chahasila Mountain, a branch of the Bayan Hara Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The Southern source originated from Kajiqu at the northern foot of the various Yashan Mountains of the Bayan Hara Mountains, and the Western source originated from the Argumentary Zongliequ at the Western foot of the Star Hara Mountains.
In the shape of "Ji", it flows through Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong provinces (autonomous regions) from west to east, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea.
The Yellow River is the most important birthplace of Chinese civilization. The Chinese call it the "Mother River". Every year, 1.6 billion tons of sediment will be produced, of which 1.2 billion tons will flow into the sea. The remaining 400 million tons will remain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River for a long time, forming an alluvial plain, which is conducive to planting.

The Yellow River or Huang He is the second longest river in Asia, after theYangtze River, and the sixth longest river system in the world at theestimated length of 5,464 km. Originating in the Bayan Har Mountains inQinghai province of Western China, it flows through nine provinces, and itempties into the Bohai Sea near the city of Dongying in Shandong province.
The Yellow River basin has an east–west extent of about 1,900 kilometers and a north–south extent of about 1,100 km. Its total drainagearea is about 752,546 square kilometers.
Its basin was the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization, and it was the most prosperous region in early Chinese history. There are frequent devastating floods and course changes produced by the continual elevation of the river bed, sometimes above the level of its surrounding farm fields.
The Yellow River is notable for the large amount of silt it carries—1.6 billion tons annually at the point where it descends from the Loess Plateau. If it is running to the sea with sufficient volume, 1.4 billion tons are carried to the sea annually.
