The Yalu River (also called the Amrok in Korea) is a river on the border between North Korea and China. Together with the Tumen River to its east, and a small portion of Baekdu (Changbai) Mountain, the Yalu forms the border between North Korea and China. The Chinese name "Yalu" literally means "Duck Green", but the characters were chosen to phonetically approximate the original Manchu word "Yalu", which means "the boundary between two countries".[citation needed] The Korean name is the Korean pronunciation of the Chinese characters.
From 2,500 m above sea level on Changbai Mountain, on the China-North Korea border, the river flows south to Hyesan before sweeping 130 km northwest to Linjiang and then returning to a more southerly route for a further 300 km to empty into the Korea Bay between Dandong (China) and Sinŭiju (North Korea).
The bordering Chinese provinces are Jilin and Liaoning.
The river is 790 km (491 mi) long and receives the water from over 30,000 km² of land. The Yalu's most significant tributaries are the Changjin (장진강, 長津江), Heochun (허천강, 虚川江) and Tokro rivers. The river is not easily navigable for most of its length.
