The 5,500-kilometer-long Huang He, meaning "the Yellow River", originates from the Kunlun Mountains in western China and flows generally eastward across northern China to the Gulf of Bohai. It is named for the vast quantities of yellow silt it carries to its delta. Huang He is the second longest river in China. Tracing to a source high up the majestic Kunlun Mountains in the nation's far west, it loops north, bends south, and flows east for 5,464 kilometers until it empties into the sea, draining a basin of 745,000 square kilometers which nourishes 120 million people. Millennia ago the Chinese civilization emerged from the central region of this basin.
The Yangtze River or Chang Jiang is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world after the Nile in Africa and the Amazon in South America. The river is about 6,211 km long and flows from its source in Qinghai Province in Tibet, eastwards into the East China Sea at Shanghai.
