Jing River
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Jing River (Chinese: 泾河) or Jing He (Pinyin: Jīng Hé), also called Jing Shui (Chinese: 泾水), is a tributary of the Wei River (Chinese: 渭河), which in turn is the largest tributary of the Yellow River.
It is 455.1 kilometres (282.8 mi) long, with a basin area of 45,000 square kilometres (17,000 sq mi). The river's flow varies greatly throughout the year, and in its basin soil erosion is serious. In summer floods, it is sediment-laden; in the dry season, the river water is relatively clear.
Its source is at Mount Liupan in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and it flows through Gansu and Shaanxi, where it joins the Wei River in Gaoling County.
According to Chinese mythology a Dragon King ruled over the river.
