The Hai River , previously called Bai He (Chinese: 白河; pinyin: Bái Hé; literally "white river"; Pei Ho in Western sources), is a
river in
China which flows through
Beijing and
Tianjin into the
Bohai Gulf of the
Yellow Sea. The He River is formed at
Tianjin by five rivers, the Southern Canal, Ziya River, Daqing River, Yongding River, and the Northern Canal. The southern and northern canals are parts of the
Grand Canal. The Southern Canal is joined by Wei River at
Linqing. The Northern Canal joins with the Bai He (Chaobai River) at
Tongzhou. The Northern Canal (sharing channel with Bai He) is also the only waterway from the sea to
Beijing. Therefore, the early westerns also called the Hai He as Bai He.
