Chinese rivers, according to the circulation pattern of river runoff, include outflow rivers that flow into the ocean, and inflow rivers that are not connected to the ocean. China's rivers are unevenly distributed, with both inflow and outflow areas. These rivers are not only an important part of China's geographical environment, but also rich in natural resources.
