Landsat 8 satellite captured Yellow River Delta, China.
The Yellow River or Huang He is the second-longest river in China, after Yangtze River, and the sixth-longest river system in the world at the estimated length of 5,464km. Originating in the Bayan Har Mountains in Qinghai province of Western China, it flows through nine provinces, and it empties into the Bohai Sea near the city of Dongying in Shandong province. The Yellow River is notable for the large amount of silt it carries-1.6 billion tons annually at the point where it descends from the Loess Plateau. If it is running to the sea with sufficient volume, 1.4 billion tons are carried to the sea per year.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
