YaLu River

This week, we learn a lot about rivers.So,I will talk about a river which I familiar with and have a research for.

I have travelled to Dan Dong when I was about 12 years old. Dan Dong is located along side of the YaLu River and in the south part of LiaoNing Peninsula.Dan Don gis the biggest border city in China.It borders on An Shan in the west,Benxi in the north,and Jin Lin in the northeast.Dan Dong faces Democratic People's Republic Of Korea across YaLu River as well.

The Yalu is about 800 km long.It flows from the Changbai mountains southwestward to Korea Bay.The Yalu River is used for generating hydroelectric power and for navigation.

Every year when ice starts melting, there will be spring flood. It is cool and humid across the whole region. The river does not have much sand so the water is very clear. The Yalu River freezes in the winter and there are many beaches and rapid waters in the upper and middle reaches ,so transportation is not good. However,below the Shuifeng Reservoir,transportation is available and the largest port is Dandong City.

The Yalu River features beautiful scenery. I 'm interested in the view here as well as the history because my grandpa had join the war which is known as Korean War.

The beautuful scenery here.
