The Qinhuai He ( Chinese 秦淮河 , Pinyin Qínhuái hé ), formerly also called Huai Shui ( 淮水 ) or Longcang Pu ( 龙 藏 浦 ), is a tributary of the Yangzi Jiang - the lower reaches of the Yangtze River - in the southwest of the Chinese province Jiangsu .
It has a length of 110 km and a catchment area of 2630 square kilometers.
It has two source rivers: the eastern one has its source in Baohua Shan in Jurong County , the southern one in Donglu Shan in Lishui County . Both flow together at the foot of the Fang Shan in the Jiangning district of Nanjing and flow over 110 km into the Yangtze River . The short part flowing through Nanjing is called Inner Qinhuai He ( Nei Qinhuai He ). Its banks were already settled in the Neolithic .
