Xi RiverChinese Xi Jiang or Hsi Chiang English West RiverRiver system, southern China. Known as the Nanpan and then the Hongshui in its upper course, the Xi proper begins as it enters Guangdong province from eastern Guangxi autonomous region. It flows east through Guangdong and then through the vast Pearl River delta before entering the South China Sea west of Hong Kong near Macau; the city of Guangzhou (Canton) is in its delta. It is about 1,200 mi (1,930 km) long, shorter than other important Chinese rivers, but its volume of flow is second only to that of the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang). It is the great commercial waterway of southern China, linking the delta cities with the interior. How to thank TFD for its existence?
