The topography of the Yalu River:

The height difference from the source to the mouth of the Yalu River is 2440m, and the average annual runoff at the mouth of the river is 29.1 billion m. The terrain of the basin is high in the northeast and low in the southwest. Above Linjiang is the upper reaches, with continuous mountains on both sides of the river, with an altitude of 500-1500m. The riverbed slope is extremely steep, generally between 1% and 4%. Due to the influence of terrain, rainfall is uneven, with more summer and less winter. The annual rainfall in the flood season is 870mm. Above Changbai County, there are many mountains and valleys with dense forests, steep slopes and rapid water flows. The valley is 50-150m wide and is rich in water energy resources.

The middle reaches from Linjiang to Shuifeng, the water volume increases, the slope becomes gentle, and the valley width is 200-2000m. From Shuifeng to the mouth of the sea, it is the Changyou river section. The river valley is wide, with low hills and narrow plains on both sides, and many sandbars in the center of the river. There are nearly 200 islands in the river, with Wen'an Beach being the largest. The river near Dandong is 5km wide and flows into Donggou and branches into two branches into the Yellow Sea. There is a small area along the upper reaches of the Yalu River that is composed of basalt. The entire river bed is composed of Precambrian rocks. The alluvial layer begins to expand outward when it reaches the mouth of the river. Most of the valleys through which rivers flow are deep.
