The Sanggan River or Sanggan He (Chinese: 桑干河), also known in English as Sangkan River, is a river in northern China. It runs 506 kilometers and has a drainage area of 23,900 square kilometers. In addition to its significance in hydrology, it is culturally significant as it has been mentioned in various poems, essays, and novels, including a poem by Chen Tao and an award-winning novel The Sun Shines Over Sanggan River by Ding Ling.[1] It is also one of the rivers that gave birth to early civilizations.
