Hai He

The Hai River basin

The Hai He river (), previously called Bai He (), also known as Pei Ho (北河) in Western source, is a river in China which flows through Beijing and Tianjin into Bohai Gulf of the Yellow Sea. It is 1,329 km long. Its basin has an area of approximately 319,000 km² (123,000 square miles). Its annual flow is only half that of the Yellow River or one-thirtieth that of the Yangtze River. At Tianjin, through the Grand Canal, the Hai connects with the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. Like the Yellow River, the Hai is exceedingly muddy because of the powdery soil through which it flows.
