The origin of Yalu River

Yalu River is the boundary river between China and North Korea. Originated in the Tianchi Lake of Baitoushan in the southeast of Jilin Province and on the border between China and North Korea, it flows to Dandong City in southwest Liaoning Province and enters the Yellow Sea, with a total length of about 795 kilometers. In the Han Dynasty about 2000 years ago, the name of Yalu River was Mazishui. During the Han and Wei Dynasties, it was not until the Tang Dynasty 1000 years ago that it was called the Yalu River.

According to the Collection written by Du You, a famous historian in the Tang Dynasty, the water at the source of the Yalu River is as green as a feather on the head of a drake, so it is called the Yalu River.
