The Yellow River (simplified Chinese: 黄河; traditional Chinese: 黃河; pinyin: Huáng Hé, Beijing Mandarin: [xu̯ɑŋ˧˥xɤ˧˥]ⓘ) is the second-longest river in China,[2] after the Yangtze River, and the sixth-longest river system on Earth at the estimated length of 5,464 km (3,395 mi).[3] Originating at an elevation above 15,000 feet (4,600 metres)[4] in the Bayan Har Mountains, it empties into the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River basin was the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization.[5][6] Its yellow sediments are carried downstream from the Loess Plateau.[7] The river experiences frequent devastating floods and course changes produced by the continual elevation of the river bed, sometimes above the level of its surrounding farm fields.
