The Yellow River (Huang He), is the most important waterway in China. The region around the confluence of the Huang He and Wei rivers formed the cradle of Chinese civilisation. The river is the third-longest river in Asia, following the Yangtze River and Yenisei River, and the sixth-longest in the world at an estimated length of 5,464 km (3,395 mi).
