3、珠江
珠江,又名粤江,是中国第二大河流,境内第三长河流。珠江原指广州到入海口96公里长的一段水道,因为它流经著名的海珠岛(石)而得名,后来逐渐成为西江、东江、北江以及珠江三角洲上各条河流的总称。
珠江发源于云贵高原乌蒙山系马雄山,流经中国中西部六省区及越南北部,在下游从八个入海口注入南海。
4、塔里木河
塔里木河,在维吾尔语里、意为“无缰之马”和“田地、种田”。位于新疆维吾尔自治区塔里木盆地北部。发源于天山山脉及喀喇昆仑山,沿塔克拉玛干沙漠北缘,穿过阿克苏、沙雅、库车、轮台、库尔勒、尉犁等县(市)的南部,沿最后流入台特马湖。
5、伊犁河
伊犁河是亚洲中部内陆河,跨越中国和哈萨克斯坦的国际河流。伊犁河的主源特克斯河发源于天山汗腾格里峰北侧,向东流经中国新疆的昭苏盆地和特克斯谷地,又向北穿越伊什格力克山,与右岸支流巩乃斯河汇合后称伊犁河,
西流至霍尔果斯河进入哈萨克斯坦境内,流经峡谷、沙漠地区,注入中亚的巴尔喀什湖。从河源至入湖口,全长1236公里,流域面积15.1万平方公里,其中中国境内河长442公里,流域面积5.6平方公里。
6、阿克苏河
中国塔里木河水量最大的源流。在新疆维吾尔自治区塔里木盆地西部。长224公里。上游有两大支流︰北支库玛拉克河(也称昆马立克河)水量大,西支托什干河流程长。两河均发源于天山西段,河水由山地降水及冰雪融水补给。两河在温宿附近汇合称阿克苏河。
1. Yangtze River
The Yangtze River originates from the southwest side of the Geladandong Peak of the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the "Roof of the World", and is the mother river of the Chinese nation. The main stream flows through 11 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, including Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shanghai, and flows into the East China Sea east of Chongming Island. It is more than 6,300 kilometers long, more than 800 kilometers longer than the Yellow River.
Among the world's major rivers, it is the third longest, second only to the Nile River in Africa and the Amazon River in South America. However, the Nile River basin spans 9 countries in Africa, the Amazon River basin spans 7 countries in South America, and the Yangtze River is unique to China.
2. Yellow River
The Yellow River originates from Zhaqu at the southern foot of the Chahasila Mountain, a branch of the Bayankala Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Qinghai Province in the north. The Yellow River originates from Kariqu at the northern foot of the Gezigeya Mountain, a branch of the Bayankala Mountains, in the south. The Yellow River originates from Yuguzongliequ at the west of Xingxiuhai in the west.
It is in the shape of a Chinese character "几", flowing from west to east through nine provinces (autonomous regions) including Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea.
3. Pearl River
The Pearl River, also known as the Yuejiang River, is the second largest river in China and the third longest river in the country. The Pearl River originally referred to a 96-kilometer-long waterway from Guangzhou to the estuary. It was named because it flows through the famous Haizhu Island (Shi). Later, it gradually became the general name for the Xijiang River, Dongjiang River, Beijiang River and various rivers in the Pearl River Delta.
The Pearl River originates from the Ma Xiong Mountain in the Wumeng Mountains of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, flows through six provinces and regions in central and western China and northern Vietnam, and flows into the South China Sea from eight estuaries in the lower reaches.
4. Tarim River
The Tarim River, in Uyghur, means "unbridled horse" and "field, farming". It is located in the northern part of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It originates from the Tianshan Mountains and the Karakoram Mountains, along the northern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, through the southern parts of Aksu, Shaya, Kuche, Luntai, Korla, Yuli and other counties (cities), and finally flows into Taitema Lake.
5. Ili River
The Ili River is an inland river in central Asia and an international river across China and Kazakhstan. The main source of the Ili River, the Tekes River, originates from the north side of the Khan Tengri Peak of the Tianshan Mountains, flows eastward through the Zhaosu Basin and Tekes Valley in Xinjiang, China, and then flows northward through the Ishgelik Mountains. After merging with the right bank tributary Gongnaisi River, it is called the Ili River. It flows westward to the Horgos River and enters Kazakhstan, flows through canyons and desert areas, and flows into Lake Balkhash in Central Asia. From the source of the river to the mouth of the lake, it is 1,236 kilometers long and has a drainage area of 151,000 square kilometers, of which the river is 442 kilometers long in China and has a drainage area of 5.6 square kilometers. 6. Aksu River The source of the Tarim River in China with the largest water volume. It is located in the western part of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is 224 kilometers long. There are two major tributaries in the upper reaches: the northern branch Kumarak River (also known as the Kunmalik River) has a large amount of water, and the western branch Toshgan River has a long course. Both rivers originate from the western part of Tianshan Mountain, and the water is fed by mountain precipitation and meltwater from ice and snow. The two rivers merge near Wensu and are called Aksu River.
1. Tarim River
The Tarim River, in Uygur, means "unbridled horse" and "field, farming". It is located in the northern part of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It originates from the Tianshan Mountains and the Karakoram Mountains, along the northern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, through the southern parts of Aksu, Shaya, Kuche, Luntai, Korla, Yuli and other counties (cities), and finally flows into Taitema Lake.
2. Wuyur River
The Wuyur River, located in the western part of Heilongjiang Province, is a large river without tail on the left bank of the Nenjiang River and the largest inland river in Heilongjiang Province. It originates from the west side of the Lesser Khingan Mountains, with a total length of 587 kilometers and a drainage area of 23,110 square kilometers.
The Wuyur River flows northwest from its source, turns southwest to the south of Bei'an City, passes through six counties including Bei'an, Kedong, Keshan, Baiquan, Yi'an and Fuyu, and turns south near Yazhou in Fuyu County. Its tail gradually disappears in the vast reed meadows and wetlands east of Qiqihar City and northwest of Lindian County, turning into a vast swamp.
Rivers that do not eventually flow into the ocean are called "inland rivers". For example, the Tarim River, Heihe River, Shule River and Yili River in my country are all inland rivers.
The Tarim River is located in the Tarim Basin in northwest my country. Due to its inland location and far distance from the sea, it is difficult for ocean water vapor to reach it. In addition, the surrounding high mountains such as the Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains block it, and the terrain is closed, making it even more difficult for water vapor to enter. The climate is very dry. The annual precipitation in the basin is less than 100 mm, while the annual evaporation reaches more than 2,000 mm. Therefore, it is impossible to form a river in the Tarim Basin by relying on atmospheric precipitation.
However, the Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains on the north and south sides of the Tarim Basin are very tall mountains, covered with mountain glaciers, and the melted water from the glaciers will converge to the foothills and flow into the Tarim Basin, and converge in the basin to form the largest inland river in my country, the "Tarim River".
The Tarim River originates from the Tianshan Mountains and the Karakoram Mountains, flows from west to east along the northern edge of the Tarim Basin, and finally flows into Taitema Lake. The total length is about 2,179 kilometers. That is to say, the final destination of the Tarim River is "Taitema Lake", but this is not immutable, because the flow of inland rivers like the Tarim River varies greatly, which will also cause the end of the river to change.
There are dozens of inland rivers in my country, and the more famous ones are: my country's largest inland river---Tarim River. It has a basin area of 198,000 square kilometers and finally flows into Taitema Lake.
my country's second largest inland river-Heihe River. The Heihe River Basin is the second largest inland river in Northwest my country. It originates from the middle section of the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains. The Jinta Populus euphratica forest and Ejina Populus euphratica forest along its coast, and the Juyan Lake are famous attractions in its basin.
China's Tarim River and Peacock River are the largest inland rivers, both located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The Tarim River is the longest and largest inland river in China. It flows through the edge of the Taklimakan Desert. It is 2,179 kilometers long and has a drainage area of 1.05 million square kilometers. Wherever the Tarim River passes, it nourishes and breeds oases, and desert plants grow well, attracting many wild animals. They all regard this as their home and build a paradise of coexistence with nature in the depths of the desert. The Tarim River finally flows into Lop Nur.
The Peacock River originates from Bosten Lake and is a rare river without tributaries in my country. Its original name was Yinma River. It is 785 kilometers long and flows through Korla City. Botanical gardens, Peacock Parks, Ethnic Customs Parks and other scenic spots are built on both sides of the Peacock River. The length is about 10 kilometers. Many tourists from all over the country come to visit every year. The Peacock River finally flows into Lop Nur.
The Tarim River is the longest inland river in my country. The upper source receives the meltwater from the Kunlun Mountains, the Pamir Plateau and the Tianshan Mountains. It has a large flow and many tributaries. "Tarim" means the confluence of rivers in Uyghur. The main source of the Tarim River, the Yarkand River, originates from the glacier area near the main peak of the Karakoram Mountains, the Chogori Peak. If we count from the upper reaches of the Yarkand River to the Daxihaizi, the total length is about 2,030 kilometers, and the drainage area is 43. 550,000 square kilometers. The upper reaches of the Tarim River have many tributaries, mainly the Aksu River, the Hotan River and the Yarkand River, with lengths of 110 kilometers, 1,090 kilometers and 1,037 kilometers respectively.
The water volume of the main stream of the Tarim River is entirely dependent on the supply of tributaries. In recent years, due to the increase in irrigation water in the upper and middle reaches, as well as leakage and evaporation, the water volume in the lower reaches has dropped sharply and gradually disappeared in the desert. The upper reaches of the Ili River have three major tributaries: the Tekes River, the Gongnaisi River and the Kashi River. The main source, the Tekes River, originates from the north side of the Khan Tengri Peak. It flows eastward and merges with the Gongnaisi River to become the Ili River; it flows westward to Yamadu and is joined by the Kashi River. It then enters the wide river valley plain, enters Kazakhstan after receiving the Horgos River, and flows into Lake Balkhash.
The Ili River is 441 kilometers long in my country, with a drainage area of about 57,000 square kilometers. It is the river with the most abundant water in Northwest my country, with an annual runoff of 12.3 billion cubic meters, accounting for 1/5 of the total runoff in Xinjiang, of which the Tekes River accounts for 63%.
The maximum flow of the Ili River occurs in July and August, and the minimum flow occurs in winter, which is closely related to the supply of ice and snow melt and rain water.
