Dadu River
The 169th longest river in the world
The Dadu River (pinyin: Dàdù Hé, Wade–Giles: Tatu Ho, Yi), known in Tibetan as the Gyelmo Ngul Chu (Tibetan, Wylie: rgyal mo rngul chu), is a major river located primarily in Sichuan province, southwestern China. The Dadu flows from the eastern Tibetan Plateau into the Sichuan Basin where it joins with the Min River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. Measured from its geographic source, the Dadu is actually longer than the Min River, with a total length of 1,076 km (669 mi) and thus forms the main stem of the Min River system. Shuangjiangkou Dam, expected to be the tallest dam in the world, is being built on the Dadu River.
Flows through: People's Republic of China.
