Yong River (Guangxi)

The Yong River (邕江, Yōng Jiāng) is a major river in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China. It is formed by the confluence of the Zuo River (Left River) and the You River (Right River) in Nanning, the capital of Guangxi. The Yong River flows eastward through Nanning, eventually joining the Yu River, which is a major tributary of the Pearl River system.

The river is significant for transportation, irrigation, and as a source of drinking water for Nanning. It also plays an important role in the local ecosystem. The banks of the Yong River in Nanning have been developed into scenic areas and parks, providing recreational spaces for residents and tourists. The river is often associated with the city and features prominently in local culture and tourism. Its course and flow can be significantly affected by the rainy season.
