What Are the Biggest Rivers in the World?

6. Yellow River

The Yellow River or Huang He is the second-longest river in China and also one of the longest rivers in the world. The river flows 3,395 miles from its source in the Bayan Har Mountains to its mouth at the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River’s basin is said to be the birthplace of Chinese civilization. The river is integral for farming but is also notorious for its devastating floods. Huang He flows through seven Chinese provinces and is said to nourish more than 140 million people. Bridges across the great river are found in Shandong, Henan, Gansu, and Shanxi.
