The Pearl River is China's third longest river, and second largest by volume (after the Yangtze). Located in the south, it flows into the South China Sea between Hong Kong and Macau. Its lower reach forms the Pearl River Delta.
The Pearl River is named after a sandy or stony island in the middle of the river called "Sea Pearl". This island is now in the bank, due to the river's change of course.
The Pearl river, is about 177 km long, Formed in Guangzhou by the confluence of the Xi and Bei rivers, it flows east, then south, past Guangzhou and Huangpu island to form a large estuary between Hong Kong and Macao.
