Hong Kong from WikiPedia:
The Pearl River(traditional Chinese: ??; simplified Chinese: ??; pinyin: Zh? Ji?ng; Cantonese Yale: zyu1 gong1) or less commonly, the "Guangdong (a.k.a. Canton) River" (Yue Jiang) (Chinese: ??), is China's third longest river (2,200 km, after the Yangtze River and the Yellow 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.
It is formed by convergence of the Xi Jiang ("the West River"), the Bei Jiang ("the North River"), and the Dong Jiang ("the East River") . The river flows through the majority of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou Provinces, and parts of Hunan and Jiangxi, forming the 409,480 km² Pearl River Basin (????).
