The Jialing River,[a] formerly known by numerous other names, is a major tributary of the Yangtze River in the Sichuan Basin.[2] It is named after the Jialing Valley in Feng County, Shaanxi through which it flows.
The Jialing River's most notable characteristic was formerly its pellucid green waters.[3] It is also notable for its sinuous course in its lower reaches. From Zhangwang Miao (Temple of Zhangfei) in Langzhong to the mouth, the distance as the crow flies is 223 kilometres (139 mi). However the river itself travels 680 kilometres (420 mi). The most tortuous part of its course is between Nanchong and Wusheng County.
