The Pearl River
1 min readThe Pearl River or Zhu Jiang is an extensive river system in southern China.The name Pearl River is usually used as a catchment term to refer to the watersheds of the Xi Jiang，the Bei Jiang，and the Dong Jiang.These rivers are all considered tributaries of the Pearl River because they share a common delta，the Pearl River Delta.This Pearl River is the widest distributary within the delta，althoughconsiderably short.The Pearl River is famed as the river that flows through Guangzhou.The Pearl River’s estuary，Bocca Tigris，is regularly dredged so as to keep it open for ocean vessels.The mouth of the Pearl River forms a large bay in the southeast of the delta，the Zhujiang Kou.This bay separates Macao and Zhuhai from Hong Kong and Shenzhen.The Pearl River is named this because of all the pearl colored shells that lie at the bottom of the river in the section that flows through the city of Guangzhou.
