The Hai He river previously called Bai He , also known as Pei Ho in Western source, is a river in China which flows through Beijing and Tianjin into Bohai Gulf of the Yellow Sea. It is 1,329 km long. Its basin has an area of approximately 319,000 km² (123,000 square miles). Its annual flow is only half that of the Yellow River or one-thirtieth that of the Yangtze River. At Tianjin, through the Grand Canal, the Hai connects with the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. Like the Yellow Rive..
The Huai River used to flow all the way to the sea through present-day northern Jiangsu province. However, beginning in 1194 the Yellow River to the north changed its course southwards to run into the Huai River, and changed back and forth several times over the next 700 years. The resulting silting was so heavy that after the Yellow River changed back to its northerly course for the last time in 1897, the Huai He is no longer able to go through its old course.
