Min River (Fujian)

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Min River (Mǐn Jiāng) is a 505-kilometre-long (314 mi) river in Fujian province, People's Republic of China. It is the largest river in Fujian, and an important water transport channel. Most of northern and central Fujian is within its drainage area. The provincial capital, Fuzhou (Foochow), sits on the lower Min River, with its historic center being on the northern side of the river. Fuzhou's suburb Changle is on the other side of the river, even closer to its fall into the Taiwan Strait; the location historically made it an important port.

Flows through: People's Republic of China.
