Why is Liaocheng called Jiangbei Water City?

There are 23 rivers with a drainage area of ??more than 30 square kilometers, including 3 rivers with a drainage area of ??more than 100 square kilometers. The Yellow River surges and roars for more than a hundred miles in the east; the canal meanders through the city from the middle; the Wei River carries water from the west and creates tidal waves to Hebei, Shandong and Henan; there are also the Majia River, Tuhai River, etc. criss-crossing each other, Dongchang Lake, Yuqiu Lake, etc. The lakes reflect each other. In Liaocheng City alone, the area of ??lakes and rivers reaches 13 square kilometers, accounting for 1/3 of the built-up area. Numerous rivers and beautiful lakes have given Liaocheng a unique water city style of "the lakes are connected with each other, the city and the lake are dependent on each other, the city is in the water, and the water is in the city". This advantage is unmatched by many cities in Jiangbei, China. So it’s called Jiangbei Water City~~
