description Songhua Overview

The Songhua River is a major river of northeastern China and the largest tributary of the Amur River. Its water system includes the Nenjiang and Second Songhua, and the main river runs through Jilin and Heilongjiang before joining the Amur near Tongjiang. The river passes Harbin, drains a broad agricultural plain, and serves as an important regional source of water and transport, which makes it significant in both Chinese geography and Northeast Asian river studies.
