It originates from Bird and Rat Mountain in Weiyuan County, Gansu Province, flows eastward through Weihe Plain in Shaanxi Province and joins the Yellow River in Tongguan County, with a total length of 787 kilometers. The upper reaches and tributaries of Jinghe River and Luohe River flow through the Loess Plateau, carrying a lot of sediment.

Because the Yellow River flows through the Loess Plateau, it carries a lot of sediment, and the average sediment transport for many years reaches 654.38+600 million tons, which is equivalent to accumulating 27 circles of 654.38+0 meters square earth dikes around the earth. Every year, 400 million tons of sediment is deposited in the downstream riverbed, making the Yellow River a "suspended river" more than ten meters above the ground. The middle reaches of the Yellow River are located in the monsoon climate zone, and the annual change rate of precipitation and rainstorm is large.
