The name Pearl River is usually used as a catchment term to refer to the watersheds of the Xi River ("West River"), the Bei River ("North River"), and the Dong River ("East River"). These rivers are all considered tributaries of the Pearl River because they share a common delta, the Pearl River Delta. Measured from the farthest reaches of the Xi Jiang, the Pearl River system is China's third longest river, , after the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and second largest by volume, after the Yangtze. The Pearl River Basin (珠江流域) drains the majority of South Central, (Guangdong and Guangxi provinces), as well as parts of Southwest (Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Jiangxi provinces) in China, and Northeast of Vietnam (Cao Bằng and Lạng Sơn). As well as referring to the system as a whole, the Pearl River (Zhu Jiang) name is also applied to a specific branch within the system. This Pearl River is the widest distributary within the delta, although considerably short. The waters that converge east of the Bei Jiang are first referred to as the Pearl River just north of Guangzhou. The Pearl River is famed as the river that flows through Guangzhou. The Pearl River's estuary, Bocca Tigris, is regularly dredged so as to keep it open for ocean vessels. The mouth of the Pearl River forms a large bay in the southeast of the delta, the Pearl River Estuary, the Bocca Tigris separates Shizi Ocean in the north and Lingding Ocean in the south. This bay separates Macau and Zhuhai from Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The Pearl River is named this because of all the pearl colored shells that lie at the bottom of the river in the section that flows through the city of Guangzhou. A 500 kV-power line, suspended from three of the tallest pylons in the world, the Pylons of Pearl River Crossing, crosses the river near its mouth. Zhujiang Brewery, one of the three largest domestic breweries in China, is located on the Pearl River Delta within the city of Guangzhou. ==Image gallery== File:Xijiang Zhaoqing.JPG|Looking over the Xi River ("West River") from Zhaoqing to Gaoyao File:pearlriver.jpg|Pearl River at night, Guangzhou File:Dongguan007.jpg|Humen Pearl River Bridge viewed from Zhenyuan Fort File:Yelin-Island-view-of-Zhuhai-and-Jiuzhou-Islands-0718.jpg|Zhuhai and Jiuzhou Islands, viewed from Yeli Island at Pearl River mouth 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pearl River (China)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
