The
Yu River (郁江 or 鬱江) (also called the
Siang River) is a river in the south of
China. It rises in two branches - the
Zuo River (左江) and the
You River (右江). The You flows roughly south-east from its source close to
Baise City in
Guangxi. The Zuo flows north-east from its sources in
Vietnam: Peng River (Vietnamese: Bằng Giang) and
Kỳ Cùng River (totally in Vietnam). They meet just west of
Nanning. From here, it is known as the
Yong Jiang (邕江) as it flows through Nanning before becoming the Yu . The Yu itself runs roughly northeast before joining the
Qian River (黔江) at
Guiping to form the
Xun River.
