DungHou River, River in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, China

The DungHou River stretches 4.225 kilometers from the eastern slopes of Baiyun Mountain, flowing south through multiple districts before joining the Pearl River.

During the Southern Han Dynasty in 971 and Ming Dynasty in 1370, the river underwent substantial modifications to become part of Guangzhou's eastern water system.

The river holds a central position in local traditions, with numerous festivals and community gatherings taking place along its banks throughout the year.

Visitors can access the river through designated pathways and parks, with opportunities for walking, cycling, and photography along the 3 to 11-meter wide waterway.

The river's rehabilitation project between 2010 and 2012 transformed concrete embankments into green ecological barriers, creating a natural corridor through the city.
