Wei River

The Wei River is a major tributary of the Yellow River located in northern China. It stretches approximately 818 kilometers (about 508 miles) and flows through Shaanxi Province, draining a fertile basin. Historically, it has been vital for agriculture, transportation, and civilization development in the region. The river's basin supports farming communities and has played a crucial role in China's history as a cradle of early Chinese culture. Today, the Wei River still provides water resources for local agriculture and industries, though it faces challenges like pollution and water management due to urbanization and economic development.
