The
Xun River (
Chinese: 浔江,
pinyin:
Xún Jiāng) is the name of a short section of the main branch of the
Pearl River system upstream from the
Xi Jiang in
China. Although less than 150 km long, it is of considerable importance in
Guangxi Province as it drains the majority of the province. The Xun River in name is formed by the
Yu and
Qian rivers, with the Qian being the greater of the two tributaries. The Xun then flows out of
Guiping and through
Pingnan, finally joining with the
Gui Jiang in
Wuzhou to form the
Xi Jiang. The Xun is also a section of the
Pearl's longest
tributary.
