This is the yellow river. It is located in China. It was and still is the cradle of Chinese civilization. It is also sometimes called the mother river because it is praised by the chinese. The reason they call it the yellow river is because the water looks yellow because of the rock s and objects in the river base. It runs through many main cities including Lanzhou, Zhengzhou, and Jinan. It brings water to more than 12% of china and has had agriculture on its bank for more than 7,00 years.
