The Yellow River is the second longest river in China and the sixth longest in the world. Despite its name, the Yellow River is actually brown in color. The river gets its name from the vast amount of loess—a combination of wind-blown silt and sand—that it carries from the Gobi Desert. The Yellow River is also known as “China’s Sorrow” because of its tendency to flood.<\/p>\n
