Ji River

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Ji River was a former river in north-eastern China which gave its name to the towns of Jiyuan and Jinan. In one of the massive Yellow River floods of 1852, the Yellow River shifted its course from below the Shandong Peninsula to north of it, taking over what was then the Ji River's main channel below Dongping Lake.

Flows through: People's Republic of China.
