Detailed explanation-1: -The Yellow River (Huang He), with a length of 3, 395 miles (5, 464 kilometres), is China’s second longest river-surpassed only by the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang). Its drainage basin is the third largest in China, with an area of some 290, 000 square miles (750, 000 square kilometres).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Grand Canal played a major role in reunifying north and south China. The canal was built by conscripted laborers and connected the Yellow River in the north with the Yangtze River in the south, which made it much easier to transport grain from the south to the centers of political and military power in north China.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main river of northern China, the Huang He (or Hwang Ho) is the second longest river in the country, after the Yangtze. It rises on the Plateau of Tibet and flows generally eastward, emptying into the Yellow Sea. Chinese historians routinely refer to the Huang He as the cradle of Chinese civilization.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Yangtze River (or, “Changjiang” in Chinese, literally, the “long river"), is the longest river in China, running 6, 300 kilometers (3915 miles).
