The Yellow River is often dubbed China’s Mother River and the Cradle of Chinese Civilization. Originating from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it runs through nine of the country’s provinces and autonomous regions before emptying into the Bohai Sea in Shandong Province in the east.The 5,464-km-long waterway, China’s second longest after the Yangtze River, irrigates 15 percent of its arable land and supplies water to more than 60 cities.
