TheGan River (Chinese:赣江;pinyin:Gàn Jiāng,Gan: Kōm-kong) runs north through the western part ofJiangxi before flowing intoLake Poyang and thus theYangtze River. The Xiang-Gan uplands separate it from theXiang River of neighboring easternHunan.[1]
Two similarly sized rivers, theGong River which is the southern tributary and the Mei River from the north combine inYudu County, Jiangxi, to form the Gan. The Gan River flows 527 km (327 mi) before splitting into distributaries just north ofNanchang. The longest of these, the North Branch, is several times longer than the other distributaries at 72 km (45 mi). The Gan River is the major geographical feature of Jiangxi, and gives its name to theGan variety of Chinese[2] as well as the province's one-character abbreviation.[3]The river feeds intoLake Poyang, which in turns connects with theYangtze.[4]
