The Yellow River is a big river in northern China. The total length of the Yellow River is about 5464 kilometers. The Yellow River originates from the Yogu Zonglie Basin at the northern foot of Bayan Kara on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, flows through nine provinces (autonomous regions) of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong from west to east, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea.

The normal route from Beijing to Taierzhuang needs to pass through the Yellow River.
