Huang He (redirected from North China Plain)

Huang He  (hwäng h) also Hwang Ho (h) or Yellow River

A river of northern China rising in the Kunlun Mountains and flowing about 4,827 km (3,000 mi) generally eastward to the Bo Hai. It is named for the vast quantities of yellow silt it carries to its delta. The river is sometimes called "China's Sorrow" because of the devastating floods that once occurred regularly in its lower course.
