Continue of the Yellow River Much of the lower reaches of the Yellow River are not navigable, but raftmen, like the man to the right, have found ways to get goods across the river. The Yellow River has changed courses several times over centuries, causing great hazards. The picture on the right shows the river before it flows into the sea.

Continue of Yangtze River The Yangtze is open to navigation all the year around. The picture to the right features one of the so-called "Three Gorges," dangerous to navigate because of its currents and shallows, but of incredible beauty. The picture to the right shows the Yangtze River flowing into the sea near the biggest city in China, Shanghai.
