Xin River
The Xin River (Chinese: 信江; pinyin: Xīn Jiāng; Wade–Giles: Hsin Jiang) flows in Yushan County from the eastern edge of Jiangxi Province of central China into Poyang Lake.〔2010. The New Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica, Chicago, US. Vol. 6, p. 101.〕〔2007. Oxford Atlas of the World. Oxford University Press, Inc., New York, New York, US.〕〔2005. National Geographic Atlas of the World. 8th ed. National Geographic. Washington, DC.〕〔2003. Hammond World Atlas. Hammond World Atlas Corp. Italy.〕 Some Wikipedia maps appear to call this the Xiao River.
==Geography==
The headwaters at 28°59'N 118°05'E are in the Huai Shan mountains in the north and eastern boundaries of its watershed from which the river flows west. Tributaries include the Yu Ya River, Rao River North, Feng River, Stone River (Lu River), smaller mountain streams, the Ge River and the Baita River.〔Tong XiaoFeng. 2009. Xin River Water District Fisheries and Resources Protection Strategy. Jiangxi Fishery Science and Technology: (3): 9-11, in Chinese (童晓峰. 信江水域渔业现状及资源保护策略. 江西水产科技. (3): 9-11.)〕 The lower Xin River accepts the Le-an River which joins it as a tributary and both contribute water to Poyang Lake〔2000. Columbia Encyclopedia. 6th ed. Columbia University Press. New York, New York.〕 at 28°36'40"N 116°40'35"E and ultimately the Yangtze River.〔〔 It is 360.5 km (580 miles) long and drains an area of 17,600 km2 (6,795 sq. mi.) with a heavy sediment load.〔〔 The Xin River Basin is bounded by the Huaiyu Mountains to the north and east and by the Wuyi Shan to the south and east. Huanggang Shan is 2,158 m tall,〔 the highest mountain in Jiangxi Province, on the southern edge of the basin. The mountain passes of Fenshui Guan and Fengling Guan are on the southeastern edge of the Xin River Basin. Shan (山) and guan (关) mean mountain and pass in Chinese, respectively.〔
The Xin River can be divided into upstream, midstream and downstream sections. The upper reaches of river are in mountainous, undulating terrain. The middle reaches of the river basin gradually reduce in slope as the river flows west. In the Poyang Lake area downstream the river enters a flat open alluvial plain. Likewise, 40% of the Xin River basin, in the east end, is mountainous and the rest of the area is hills (35%) and plains (25%).〔
