The Huai He or Huai River ( Chinese 淮河 , Pinyin Huái Hé , W.-G. Huai Ho , obsolete after Post Hwai Ho ) is a 1078 km long river in China . Its northern section is also called Feihuang He ( 廢 黃河 / 废 黄河 , Fèihuáng Hé - "abandoned yellow river").
The river has its source in the Chinese province of Henan in the Tongbai Mountains . From there, its water flows in an easterly direction through the provinces of Anhui and Jiangsu . In the latter, its water passes the cities of Huainan and Bengbu and flows through the Hongze Lake ( Hungtse Lake ), from which there is a canal connection to the Yangtze River . A little further to the east, the flowing water - now called Feihuang - flows through the directly neighboring cities of Huai'an and Suqian , after which it reaches the Yellow Sea , a marginal sea of the Pacific .
The Huai was dammed into a large reservoir by the Fushan Dam , which broke in 516.
The Huai He is often considered the border between northern China and southern China .
