Songhua River

Songhua River

Highlights: People often say, "The waters of the Yellow River come from heaven," but in truth, the waters of the Songhua River are truly worthy of being called heavenly. The name "Songhua" is a transliteration from the Manchu language, meaning "Heavenly River." Comparing the Songhua River to a celestial river descending from the ninth heaven captures its vastness, length, richness, beauty, and magical scenery, carrying deep meaning and inspiring the imagination. Introduction: Originating from the Tianchi Lake on Changbai Mountain, the Songhua River flows like a green ribbon across the entire city of Jilin. Stretching over 1,840 kilometers in length with a drainage area of 545,000 square kilometers, it ranks as the third-largest river basin in China, following only the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and is often regarded as the nurturing mother of the people in Northeast China.
