Does the Yellow River flow from east to west? <\/h2>\n

The Yellow River in that region flows generally from west to east. The broad highlands of the upper course rise 1,000 to 1,700 feet (300 to 500 metres) above the river and its tributaries. The average gradient of the upper course is about seven feet per mile (1.3 metres per kilometre), but the river has many rapids. The lower course is much flatter, with an average gradient of only two feet per mile (0.4 metre per kilometre).<\/p>\n

The Yellow River, also known as the Huang He, is the second longest river in China. Originating in the Bayan Har Mountains in Qinghai province of Western China, it flows through nine provinces, and it empties into the Bohai Sea near the city of Dongying in Shandong province. The Yellow River is an important water source for agriculture and industry, and it is also a popular tourist destination.<\/p>\n
