It empties into the Gulf of Chili, an arm of its namesake sea. Connected to the Wei via the People's Victory Canal, it generally flows east, through "great northern bend" near the Ordos Desert and then through a loess region where it receives most of the silt from which its name is derived. Diverted in 1938 in defense of Japanese invasion, it has changed course at least nine times. Nicknamed "China's Sorrow," for ten points, name this fifth longest river in the world and second longest in China behind the Yangtze.
