Jian River (Sichuan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jian River (Chinese: 湔江 or 涧河; pinyin: Jiān Jiāng or Jiān Hé[1]) is a river in China, the headwater stream of Tongkou River (通つう口こう河かわ).[2] The Tongkou joins the Fu River which is a tributary of the Yangtze. The Jian River flows through Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, Sichuan. The 2008 Sichuan earthquake caused a landslide dam on the river which created Tangjiashan Lake.[3] More than 100,000 people were evacuated downstream while a sluice was constructed. The river went to a blood red or crimson color due to pollution.[4]
