China’s GeographyYellow River
• The two major rivers of China are the Yellow River: Huang He and the Yangtze River: Chang Jiang.– The Huang He, or Yellow River, gets its
name from the rich yellow soil it carries as it flows across China.
– It was also called “China’s sorrow” because when it over-flooded, many people drowned and homes were destroyed.
– It helped make the soil fertile by leaving behind a rich layer of topsoil.
