Download The Huang He (Yellow River)

The Huang He (Yellow River)
Is about 3,000 miles long. About the distance from
New York to California. The river ends in the Yellow
Sea. Civilization in ancient China was born along this
river because the soil was so fertile.
The Yangtze River (Long River)
The third longest river in the world. It is nearly 4,000
miles long. It also ends at the Yellow Sea. At its
lowest the Yangtze is about 25 feet deep. When the
snow melts it gets up to 160 feet deep. This river
flows through some of China’s best farmland. People
have built their homes and towns high above the
river, because of annual flooding.
