Ying River
River in People's Republic of China
The Ying River (simplified Chinese: 颍 河; traditional Chinese: 潁 河; pinyin: Yǐng Hé) is the largest tributary of the Huai River with its origin in Henan Province, People's Republic of China. From Zhoukou City in Henan, the river flows through Fuyang City in Anhui Province then empties into the Huai River at Shouxian.
